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).
