LESSON XCVI.

VERBS. INFINITIVE.

536. When the English Infinitive is simply the subject or the object of a verb, it should be rendered by the Latin Infinitive. See Model I.

537. When the English Infinitive either expresses purpose or result, or is dependent upon a noun or adjective, it can seldom be rendered by the Latin Infinitive. When thus used, it should generally be rendered by one of the following constructions:

1. By the Subjunctive of Purpose or Result. See Model II.; also G. 489-501.

2. By the Genitive of the Gerund or Gerundive with causa or gratia. See Model III.

3. By the Accusative of the Gerund or Gerundive with ad. See Model IV.

4. By a Relative Clause. See Model V.; also G. 501, III.

5. By the Supine in u. See Model VI.
