LESSON XXVII

THE PASSIVE VOICE • PRESENT, IMPERFECT, AND FUTURE INDICATIVE OF AMŌ AND MONEŌ

163. The Voices. Thus far the verb forms have been in the active voice; that is, they have represented the subject as performing an action; as,

The lion $\rightarrow \;$ killed $\rightarrow \;$ the hunter

A verb is said to be in the passive voice when it represents its subject as receiving an action ; as,

The lion $\leftarrow \;$ was killed $\leftarrow \;$ by the hunter

Note the direction of the arrows.

1. Plural. An adjective used as a noun. (Cf. §99. II. 3.)
2. Imperative. The imperative generally stands first, as in English.
