| Cicero warns Rome against Antony - Adjectival modifiers |
| Gap-fill exercise |
|
A. adjectives, which agree with their head in case, gender and number and are NOT in a linking kernel, fulfilling the function of a subject complement. For example, in Reading 11, modifies milites, modifies condicio, modifies belua BUT is a subject complement in a linking kernel where is the verb and ludus is the subject. B. Nouns in the genetive which DO NOT need to agree in case, gender or number with their head. For example, pacis is a gen. noun (pax, pacis f), modifying and civium is a gen. pl.noun (cives,is m), modifying . C. Participles which agree with their head in case, gender and number. For example, both and paratos modify vos. D. Adjectival Relative clauses. The relative pronoun must agree with the head in and number ONLY. For example, quod...facere solent modifies id with which quod agrees in gender, number and case, BUT quae in the last line modifies belua, with which it agrees ONLY in gender and (belua is ablative, quae is nominative, subject of its clause). E. Appositions (no examples in R 11) Sometimes the head of the adjectival modifier is gapped. For instance iratus in sent. 3 modifies Antony, who is the target of Cicero's invective here. |
