LESSON XCIII.

VERBS. INDICATIVE.

516. The English Indicative must often be rendered by the Latin Subjunctive. Thus, —

1. Often in clauses denoting Cause, or Time and Cause. See Model I.

2. In Indirect Questions. See Model II.

3. In the Subordinate Clauses of Indirect Discourse. See Model III.

4. In Relative Clauses defining indefinite antecedents. See Model IV.

5. In Clauses denoting Result, and sometimes in Conditional and in Concessive Clauses. See Model V.

517. The Indicative with that, in a clause which is used either as the subject or the object of a verb, is generally best rendered into Latin by the Infinitive with a Subject Accusative. See Model VI.

LESSON XCIV.

VERBS.-POTENTIAL MOOD.

522. The English Potential Mood, with the signs, may, can, might, could, would, should, is generally best rendered by the Latin Subjunctive. See Model I.

523. But the Potential may sometimes be rendered by the Indicative, and sometimes even by the Infinitive. Thus,

1. By the Indicative of the Periphrastic Conjugations in the historical tenses, especially in conditional sentences. See Model II.

2. The Potential may be rendered by the Indicative in

expressions of duty, necessity, ability, and the like, and in such expressions as, it would be fair, proper, just, tedious, difficult, better, more useful, etc. See Model III.

3. The Potential after that may sometimes be rendered by the Infinitive. See Model IV.

524. In English, after the conjunctions, if, unless, except, though, although, that, lest, in order that, etc., the verb takes the form sometimes of the Indicative, sometimes of the Potential, and sometimes of the Subjunctive. But the verb after these conjunctions must generally be rendered into Latin either by the Indicative or by the Subjunctive, and in choosing between these two moods, the learner must be guided by the directions given him in his Grammar. See G. 489523; also Model V.

II. Haec conditio non accipienda fuit.

III. Longum est ad omnia respondere quae a
