LOGICAL ELEMENTS.

CHAPTER I.

THE PRIMARY ELEMENTS, (439-451). THE SUBJECT AND THE COMPLEMENT.

902-1. The W-F. of the Subj. may be any part of speech that can be used substantively (206). The Subj. when a declinable word takes the Nom. case-form (365).

Rex vicit, the king conquered.

2. Infinitive and Participial clauses have no control over the case-forms of their subject (366). This depends on their prior grammatical construction with other words in the proposition, or upon the specific logical force of the entire clause as a modifier (870).

3. The C-f. of the Subj. may be any one of the five C-fs (83), except the Conj. Thus when the Subj. is a Dec. Cl. it takes regularly the INF. or PART. form (896); when an Imp. Cl. it takes regularly the UT-SUBJ. (Dem.) form (897); when an Int. or an Excl. Cl. the REL.-SUBJ. form (898, 899); and when an Indef. Cl. the REL.-INDIC. form (900).

903. THE COMPLEMENT. Any word or expression that can be used as the Subj. of a proposition, can likewise be used as the Comp. (206, 281). When a declinable word it takes the Nom. case-form the same as the Subj.

Cicero Consul fuit, Cicero was consul.

When a C-f., the particular kind of clause which is used depends upon the same principles precisely as those which control the clause-form of the Subj. (918).

THE SUBJECT WITH PASSIVE VERBS.

904-1. The Dir. Obj. of a verb in the Active Voice, becomes the Subj. of the same in the Pass. Voice.

W-f. vidit Cæsarem, saw Cæsar. (Act. Voice). Cæsar visus est, Cæsar was seen. (Pass. Voice). C-F. Vidit Cæsarem pugnare, saw Cæsar fight. (Act. Vc.) Cæsar pugnare visus est, Cæsar was seen to fight. (Pass. Vc.)
