153. The Dative with Special Intransitive Verbs.  We learned above (Sec. 20.a) that a verb which does not admit of a direct object is called an intransitive verb.  Many such verbs, however, are of such meaning that they can govern an indirect object, which will, of course, be in the dative case (Sec. 45).  Learn the following list of intransitive verbs with their meanings.  In each case the dative indirect object is the person or thing to which a benefit, injury, or feeling is directed. (Cf.  Sec. 43.)

cre:do:, cre:dere, believe (give belief to) faveo:, fave:re, favor (show favor to) noceo:, noce:re, injure (do harm to) pa:reo:, pa:re:re, obey (give obedience to) persua:deo:, persua:de:re, persuade (offer persuasion to) resisto:, resistere, resist (offer resistance to) studeo:, stude:re, be eager for (give attention to)

154. RULE.  Dative with Intransitive Verbs. The dative of the indirect object is used with the intransitive verbs /credo\, /faveo\, /noceo\, /pareo\, /persuadeo\, /resisto\, /studeo\, and others of like meaning.

LESSON XXV

FUTURE ACTIVE INDICATIVE OF REGO: AND AUDIO:

156. In the future tense of the third and fourth conjugations we meet with a new tense sign.  Instead of using -bi-, as in the first and second conjugations, we use -a:-[1] in the first person singular and -e:- in the rest of the tense.  In the third conjugation the final -e-of the stem is dropped before this tense sign; in the fourth conjugation the final -i:- of the stem is retained.[2]
