INFINITIVE MOOD

There are three Tenses of the Infinitive Mood in each Voice — Present, Perfect, and Future. The Future Participle helps to form the Future Infinitive Active, and the Perfect Participle to form the Perfect Infinitive Passive.

Active Voice (Present - Perfect - Future)

  1. am-are; amav-isse; amaturus esse.
  2. mon-ere; monu-isse; moniturus esse.
  3. reg-ere; rex-isse; recturus esse.
  4. aud-ire; audiv-isse; auditurus esse.

Passive Voice (Present - Perfect - Future)

  1. am-ari; amatus esse; amatum iri.
  2. mon-eri; monitus esse; monitum iri.
  3. reg-i; rectus esse; rectum iri.
  4. aud-iri; auditus esse; auditum iri.

GERUNDS AND GERUNDIVES

Gerunds and Gerundives are similar in name and form, but in nature are essentially different.

  1. A Gerund is a Verbal Substantive of the Neuter Gender, but must borrow the Infinitive Mood for its Nominative; it is used only in the Singular.
  2. A Gerundive is a Verbal Adjective, agreeing with its Substantive in Number, Gender, and Case.
