Vergil Test 3 - Translating Infinitives and Syncopated Verbs
Here are some helpful reminders about infinitives and syncopated perfects that can be mistaken as infinitives: * active: -āre, -ēre, -ere, -īre * passive: -ārī, -ērī, -ī, -īrī (and deponents) * verbs taking/often seen with infinitives include iubeo (I order), hortor (I urge), possum (I'm able), volo (I want), soleo (I'm accustomed), impersonal verbs like iuvat (it helps to do x) * indirect statements (verb of the head + infinitive) * syncopation (3rd principal part, not 2nd, & thus may have VLSUX)
