ossent. 10. Rex erat summa audacia et magna apud populum potentia. 11. Galli timore servitutis commoti bellum parabant. 12. Caesar monet legatos ut contineant milites, ne studio pugnandi aut spe praedae longius[1] progrediantur. 13. Bellum acerrimum a Caesare in Gallos gestum est. II. 1. The lieutenant after having seized the mountain restrained his (men) from battle. 2. All the Gauls differ from each other in laws. 3. This tribe is much braver than the rest. 4. This road is [2]ten miles shorter than that. 5. In summer Caesar carried on war in Gaul, in winter he returned to Italy. 6. At midnight the general set out from the camp with three legions. 7. I fear that you cannot protect[3] yourself from these enemies. 8. [4]After this battle was finished peace was made by all the Gauls. [Footnote 1: /longius\, _too far_. (Cf. Sec. 305.)] [Footnote 2: Latin, _by ten thousands of paces_.] [Footnote 3: /defendere\.] [Footnote 4: Ablative absolute.] 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). _459._ EXERCISES I. 1. Caesar, cum pervenisset, milites hortabatur ne consilium oppidi ca
