Explain the syntax of the following words.
(The words and their answers are listed below)
9) veniat; present subjunctive; command (jussive)
10) discedant present subjunctive; command
Vivamus; present subjunctive; purpose
11) fascia to; present subjunctive; command
12) praestat; present indicative; statement of fact
Ametur; present subjunctive; purpose
Etc.
this is an exercise from chapter 23, specifically using the present subjunctive for command or purpose clauses. We are supposed to recognize what the verbs are used for judging only by the verb’s spelling. The verbs that are indicative I can understand are “statements of fact”. The subjunctive present tense are either command (let’s) verbs or purpose. But how can you tell if the subjunctive verbs are command or purpose?
