|

|

## Grammar introduced in Cap. XXXI
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Gerundive of obligation (passive periphrastic)** — `-ndus, -nda, -ndum`. Adjective from verb stem; with *esse* = "must be ___ed":
|
||||
- [1] *laudandus*, [2] *delendus / docendus*, [3] *scrībendus*, [4] *pūniendus / audiendus*.
|
||||
- Agent in **dative** (not *ā/ab* + abl.): *Discipulus magistrō laudandus est* = "The student must be praised by the teacher."
|
||||
- With **impersonal neuter** as gerundive: *Tacendum est* = "There must be silence / one must be silent."
|
||||
- Examples from chapter: *Lingua Latīna vōbīs discenda est. Vōcābula dīligenter scrībenda sunt. Quidquid magister imperāvit discipulō faciendum est. Pater īnfantem expōnēns ipse necandus est.*
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Indefinite pronouns/adjectives**:
|
||||
- *aliquis, aliquid* (subst.) — "someone, something"
|
||||
- *aliquī, aliqua, aliquod* (adj.) — "some" + noun
|
||||
- *quīdam, quaedam, quoddam* — "a certain" (more specific than *aliquis*; speaker has someone in mind but doesn't name)
|
||||
- *quisquam, quidquam* — "anyone, anything" (only in negatives, questions, conditions, comparisons)
|
||||
- *quisquis, quidquid* — "whoever, whatever" (universal relative)
|
||||
|
||||
3. ***ōdisse*** — perfect-form-with-present-meaning verb. *ōdī* = "I hate"; *ōderam* = "I hated." Pair: *meminisse* (remember), *nōvisse* (know).
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Negative imperative with *nē* + perf. subjunctive**: *Nē dēspērāveris!* = "Don't despair!" *Nē timueris!* / *Nē oblīta sīs!* / *Nē abiēceris!* This is one of two main ways to express negative commands (the other being *nōlī(te)* + infinitive).
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Hortatory & jussive subjunctive (continued)**: *Vīvāmus et bibāmus!* *Pereat quīquis amāre vetat!* *Valeat quīquis vīnum bonum amat!* — wishes, exhortations, curses.
|
||||
|
||||
6. ***quisquis / quidquid*** correlatives: *Quidquid dominus imperāvit, servō faciendum est.* Note word order: *quisquis* clause typically precedes the main clause.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Comparative correlatives**: *tot... quot* (so many... as), *tantus... quantus*, *bis tantō* (twice as much).
|
||||
|
||||
## Common error patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- **Gerundive agent in *ā/ab*** : *Liber ā mē legendus est* — the chapter actually uses **dative**: *Liber mihi legendus est*. Both are found in real Latin; the textbook's pattern is dative. Mark as alternative, not error.
|
||||
- **Gerundive vs gerund**: *legendum est* (impersonal: must be read) vs *ars legendi* (gerund: art of reading). Don't confuse the noun-gerund (-ndī, -ndō) with adjectival gerundive.
|
||||
- ***quīdam* declension**: *quendam* (acc. m. sg., assimilation of *quemdam*), *quōrundam* (gen. pl. m.). Watch the *-m → -n-* before *-d-*.
|
||||
- ***ōdisse* tense semantics**: student translates *ōdī* as "I hated" — should be "I hate" (perfect form, present meaning). *Ōderam* = "I hated."
|
||||
- ***nē + pf subj* vs *nōlī + inf***: *Nē timueris!* and *Nōlī timēre!* both = "Don't fear!" Don't blend: *Nē timēre!* is wrong; *Nōlī timuisse!* is wrong.
|
||||
- ***quisquam* in positive*** : *Vīdī quisquam* — wrong, use *aliquem*. *Quisquam* needs negative/quasi-negative context.
|
||||
- ***vetus*** has no separate fem./neut. nom. sg.: *liber vetus, fābula vetus, vīnum vetus*. Don't write *vetera fābula*.
|
||||
- **fīdere/cōnfīdere** govern **dative or ablative**: *servō fīdō* or *fidē meā cōnfīdō*. Not accusative.
|
||||
|
||||
## Exercise menu
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Form a single gerundive** from a verb: "Gerundive of *amāre* (m. nom. sg.)?" → *amandus.* Easy single-concept opener.
|
||||
2. **Conjugate gerundive in all genders sg.**: *m. amandus, f. amanda, n. amandum.*
|
||||
3. **PENSVM A fill-in (gerundive)**: "Mercēs ad diem solv___ est." → *solvenda.* "Quī fūrtum fēcit pūn___ est." → *pūniendus.*
|
||||
4. **Indefinite-pronoun translation**: "He saw a certain slave" → *Servum quendam vīdit.* "Whoever loves wine, let him drink!" → *Quīquis vīnum amat, bibat!*
|
||||
5. **Negative imperative drill**: "Tell Orontes 'Don't drink too much!'" → *Nē nimium bibāveris!* (or *Nōlī nimium bibere!*).
|
||||
6. **PENSVM B vocab**: "Mēdus dominum suum nōn amat, sed ___." → *ōdit.* "Iūlius dīcit 'mulierēs facile virīs nēquissimīs ___.'" → *ignōscere.*
|
||||
7. **Spot the error**: *Liber legendus ā mē est, et Latīna lingua mihi discendus est.* → *discenda* (agreement: *lingua* is fem.).
|
||||
8. **PENSVM C Q&A**: "Quamobrem Midās fame et sitī cruciābātur?" → *Quia cibus quoque et pōtiō, simul atque ā rēge tācta erant, aurum fīēbant.* "Quantum pecūniae Mēdus sēcum abstulit?" → *Centum circiter sēstertiōs.*
|
||||
9. **Translate gerundive impersonal**: "We must be silent." → *Tacendum est nōbīs.*
|
||||
10. **Parse**: Identify form/function of *necandus* in *Pater īnfantem expōnēns ipse necandus est.* → gerundive nom. sg. m., agreeing with *pater*, periphrastic = "must be killed."
