Latin in Layman's - Gerunds and Gerundives
from Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution · host Liam Connerly
There are four important rules to remember in this chapter: (1) Gerunds are verbal nouns; gerundives are verbal adjectives. (2) Gerunds and gerundives are formed like future passive participles. (3) Where English will use a gerund followed by an object, Latin will use a gerundive modifying a noun. (4) There are two types of gerundive purpose constructions: 1) ad, plus an accusative noun, plus an accusative gerundive; 2) a genitive noun, plus a genitive gerundive, plus causā.
