GRAMMAR
I. Present participle. Used only in the active voice, the present participle
has the force of both a verb and an adjective. As adjective it
shows agreement; as a verb it may take an object. Objectum extra
cognoscentem est. The object is outside the person recognizing it.
2. Conjunctions that require special notice.
a) et (and) simply connects words or clauses. Ideae dividuntur in
intuitivas et factitias. Ideas are divided into intuitive and factitious.
b) ·que (and) combines more closely into a connected whole.
-que is added as an enclitic to the word connected. Aqua ignique
deleta sunt. They have been destroyed by {ire and water (combined).
c) Atque, ac (and) lays more emphasis on the added word. It may
be translated and so, and yet, and besides, and then. Omnia bona atque
mala. Everything good and everything bad besides.
d) Sed, verum, vero (but), the last two being more emphatic. These
words are used to introduce something in opposition to what precedes.
e) At introduces a new point in an argument and is more emphatic
than sed.
f) At enim introduces a supposed objection which is presently to
be refuted.
