THE VERB.
§ 355. Indefinite Second Person.—This is used:
(1) In Statements: pŭtēs one would think, § 165 (d).
(2) In Exhortations: fortūnā sī adsĭt nē ăbūtārĕ if fortune be present, we should not misuse it.
(3} In Dependent Sentences: nōn tūtum est quŏd ămēs laudārĕ it is not safe to praise what one loves.
§ 356. The Passive Voice.
| Ultĭmus rŏgor sententiam | I am asked my opinion last. |
| Tōtum diem ā vōbīs vexor | I am annoyed by you people the whole day. |
| Vult sĭbĭ quisquĕ crēdī | Each wishes to be believed. |
Sometimes, especially in poets, the Ace. of Extent (Space, Time, Sphere, § 132) is made the Subject of the Passive Verb.: tōtă mĭhī dormītŭr hĭemps (= tōtam hĭĕmem dormiō) I sleep all the winter.
§ 357. Verbs without Passive.—These are chiefly Deponent. The Passive is supplied either (a) by phrases with Verbal Nouns, as admīrāri admire, admīrātiōnī (Pred. Dat.) essĕ be admired, suspĭcārī suspect, in suspīciōnem vĕnīre (come to) be suspected; or. (b) by other Verbs of allied meaning, as frŭi use, enjoy, Pass, percĭpī. For the Passive of perdĕre, vēndĕre, see page 139, n.7 făcĕre has Pass, fĭĕri, except in compounds as effĭcī.
The Gerund and Gerundive.
§ 358. The Gerund is a Verbal Noun governing the same case as the Verb from which it comes.
Except in the meaning of obligation (§ 360) it has no Nominative, the Infinitive being used instead. Thus: currĕrĕ running, G. currendī of running. [Compare § 203 (A)].
| Trīstĕ est nōmĕn ipsum cărendi | The mere name of wanting is odious. |
| Audendō atquĕ ăgendō rēs Rōmānă crēvĭt | The fortunes of Rome grew by doing and daring. |
| Ad indulgendum īrae prōclīĭŏr | Too apt to indulge in anger. |
§ 359. In place of the Gerund with a Direct Accusative, the Gerundive is generally used; but a Gen.
