Infinitives are used in INDIRECT STATEMENTS What on earth is an indirect statement? - Pretend Mr. Hudec said this to the class: Julia is a good student. - These are direct quotes: "Julia is a good student, " said Mr. Hudec. Mr. Hudec said, "Julia is a good student." - However, that can also be reported via indirect statement: Mr. Hudec said that Julia is a good student.
Infinitives are used in INDIRECT STATEMENTS The same thing happens in Latin... but it looks a little different: Mr. Hudecus dīxit Iūliam esse discipulam bonam. Note: 1. The subject of an indirect statement is always accusative (treat it as nominative) 2. The verb of an indirect statement is always an infinitive form. 3. You'll have to supply the word that.
Recognizing Indirect Statement • They are regularly employed after verbs of speech, mental activity, or sense perception (i.e., saying, thinking, knowing, perceiving, feeling, seeing, hearing, etc.) • Saying: dīcō, negō, āit, nūntiō, narrō, scrībō, doceō, ostendō, moneō, petō • Knowing: sciō, nesciō, intellegō, memoriā teneō, discō • Thinking: cernō, cōgitō, crēdō, habeō, putō, spērō • Perceiving/Feeling: audiō, videō, sentiō, gaudeō • Look for that main verb of speech/mental activity; find an accusative and infinitive in the following phrase
Practice • Gāius dīcit eam amāre eum. • Gāius dīcit eam amārī eō. • Putamus Marcum basiavisse puellam. • Sciō Cicerōnem fugiturum esse.
Tricky Part: Time • The present infinitive indicates same time as main verb (contemporaneous infinitive) • The perfect infinitive indicated time before the main verb (prior infinitive) • The future infinitive indicates time after the main verb (subsequent infinitive)
Examples: • Gāius dīcit sē iūvisse eam. • Gāius dīxit eum iūvisse eam. • Gāius dīcit litterās ā sē scrīptās esse. • Discipulī putant sē Latīnam amātūrōs esse. • Magistra scīvit discipulās Latīnam amātūrās esse.
Sententiae Antīquae • Id factum esse nōn negāvit. • Hīs rēbus prōnūntiātīs, eum esse hostem scīvistī. • Eum ab hostibus exspectārī nunc sentīs. • Vīdī eōs in urbe remānisse et nōbīscum esse. • Idem crēdō tibi faciendum esse. • Hostibus sē in cīvitātem vertentibus, senātus Cincinnāto nūntiāvit eum factum esse dictātōrem.

Hīc alius magnus timor (Ō fābula misera!) animōs caecōs nostrōs terret. Lāocoōn, sacerdōs Neptūnī fortūnā factus, taurum ad āram in lītore mactābat. Tum geminī serpentēs potentēs, mare prementēs, ab īnsulā ad lītora currunt. Iamque agrōs tenēbant et, oculīs igne ardentibus, ōra linguīs sībilīs lambēbant. This is a really good story but with very little indirect statement. Give it to them to translate sometime. It's fun.
