
Already encountered dative as the indirect
object.

Certain adjectives (esp. those followed in
English by “to/toward” or “for”) are followed
by a noun in the dative connoting
to/toward/for whom/what the quality of the
adjective applies.

Cf. Wheelock, p. 246.

Certain verbs (i.e. those connoting an attitude
toward someone/something) are followed by a
dative rather than an accusative direct object;
generally verbs that in English are followed by
to/toward/for.

Intransitive verbs.

Caution! Many such verbs are transitive in
English.

Cf. Wheelock, pp. 246-7.

Compound verbs with the prefixes: ad, ante, con, in,
inter, ob, post, prae, pro, sub, super are followed by a
dative rather than the accusative direct object.

Only applies when the addition of the prefix
significantly alters the meaning of the word without
the prefix attached.

If the simple verb (i.e. minus the prefix) is ordinarily
transitive, then compounds of that verb often take
accusative direct object and dative indirect object.

Cf. Wheelock, p. 247-8.

An indirect command.

Direct command = “Do this” (Imperative); “Let them do this” (Jussive
Subjunctive).

Indirect command = “He urges you to do this.”

Introduced by “ut” or “ne” followed by a verb in the subjunctive.

Look similar to a purpose clause; usually identified by the presence of a main verb
connoting ordering, commanding, urging, persuading etc.

Note: Some such verbs are special verbs which take the dative of the person
ordered, persuaded etc.

Cf. Wheelock, p. 253.

Hortor (I urge), Impero (I command + dat), Moneo (I advise), Oro (I beg),
Persuadeo (I persuade + dat), Peto (I beg + ab + abl.), Quaero (I request + ab +
abl.), Rogo (I ask); NOTE: Iubeo is an exception; cf. Wheelock, p. 254.

To occur, happen, become; be done, be
made.

The perfect system is the same as perfect,
passive system of facio, facere, feci, factus
sum and means the same thing.

Memorize the paradigm for the present
system (Wheelock, p. 255).
