  6. Activity • Write four sentences about the Late Republic of Rome. Each sentence must contain a purpose clause. You must write one of each type of purpose clause, label which type you are illustrating, and underline the verb which would be translated as subjunctive

  7. Primary tenses (present, future, future perfect) Secondary Tenses (imperfect, perfect, pluperfect) If the main verb is a primary tense, use the following subjunctives to show proper relationship to the main verb: same time/after: present subjunctive before: perfect subjunctive • If the main verb is a secondary tense, use the following subjunctives to show proper relationship to the main verb: • same time/after: imperfect subjunctive • Before: pluperfect Sequence of tenses

  8. Sequence of tenses • Caesar wrote the Gallic Commentaries so that people would not forget him. • Sallust wrote so that he might explain the Catiline conspiracy. • Brutus was awaiting a time when he might betray Caesar with a knife

  9. Application • Using sample sentences, determine the tense of each subjunctive verb according to the sequence of tenses.

  10. Cum Clauses • Temporal: establishes the time when something occurs • Verb will be indicative • Cum translated as when • Circumstantial: explain the circumstances under which something occurs • Verb will be subjunctive • Cum translated as since or when

  11. Cum Clauses continued • Causal: explains the reason something happens • Verb will be subjunctive • cum will translate as since or because • Concessive: explains something that may have blocked or hindered the main verb • Verb will be subjunctive • Cum will translate as although

  12. Activity • Write four English sentences about the Late Republic that can be translated using cum clauses. You should have one of each type and label them appropriately.
