  2. The Manor Court Room, Preston Patrick, Cumbria

  3. Some of the main differences between Medieval and Classical Latin in spelling and syntax • e is usually (though not always) written for Classical Latin ae, and also for oe • Quod, quia or quoniam + indicative are frequently used for the CL accusative and infinitive (as that in English, que in French). However, the accusative and infinitive is also commonly used • An infinitive (instead of ut or ne with subjunctive) is frequently used to express purpose and indirect command (as in English) • Perfect and pluperfect passive are normally formed with fui, fueram instead of the CL sum, eram (which confusingly were often used for the present and imperfect passive) • Quod is frequently used for the CL ut • Si (if) is usually followed by a subjunctive (the CL distinction between indicative and subjunctive with si is lost)
