LESSON LXXIX
REVIEW OF THE GERUND AND GERUNDIVE, THE INFINITIVE, AND THE SUBJUNCTIVE
_455._ The gerund is a verbal noun and is used only in the genitive,
dative, accusative, and ablative singular. The constructions of these
cases are in general the same as those of other nouns (Secs. 402,
406.1).
_456._ The gerundive is a verbal adjective and must be used instead of
gerund + object, excepting in the genitive and in the ablative without a
preposition. Even in these instances the gerundive construction is more
usual (Sec. 406.2).
_457._ The infinitive is used:
I. As in English.
_a._ As subject or predicate nominative (Sec. 216).
_b._ To complete the predicate with verbs of incomplete predication
(complementary infinitive) (Sec. 215).
_c._ As object with subject accusative after verbs of _wishing,
commanding, forbidding_, and the like (Sec. 213).
II. In the principal sentence of an indirect statement after verbs
of _saying _and _mental action_. The subject is in the accusative
(Secs. 416, 418, 419).
_458._ The subjunctive is used:
1. To denote purpose (Secs. 349, 366, 372).
2. To denote consequence or result (Secs. 385, 386).
3. In relative clauses of characteristic or description (Sec. 390).
4. In /cum\ clauses of time, cause, and concession (Sec. 396).
5. In indirect questions (Sec. 432).
