  2. Direct vs. Indirect • A “direct statement” quotes the exact words of a speaker, and uses quotation marks. • Dicit, “Pueripugnant!” • He says, “The boys are fighting!” Pueripugnant!

  3. Direct vs. Indirect Statement • Indirect statement just reports the words of another person. • Dicitpuerospugnare. • He says (that) the boys are fighting. Dicitpuerospugnare. Pueripugnant!

  4. Direct vs. Indirect Statement • For indirect statement, Latin converts the form of the direct statement’s verb into an infinitive, and its subject from the nominative to the accusative case. • The indirect statement is considered the object of the main verb. Dicitpuerospugnare. Pueripugnant!

  5. Tenses of Indirect Statement • There are 3 tenses of infinitives, and each tense is used to show when the indirect statement is happening: • Present infinitive: indirect statement happens at the same time as the main verb • Perfect infinitive: indirect statement happens before the main verb • Future infinitive: indirect statement happens after the main verb

  6. Examples of Infinitive Tenses • He says the boys are fighting. • Dicitpuerospugnare. • He says the boys were fighting. • Dicitpuerospugnavisse. • He says the boys will fight. • Dicitpuerospugnaturosesse.

  7. Important Words to Remember • “esse” is the infinitive of “to be” and is often used in indirect statement: • Dicuntpuerumessefortem. • They say the boy is brave. • “Intro” words for indirect statement include puto (think), dico (say), scio (know), sentio (feel), spero (hope), and others.

  11. Sequence of Tenses…Time To Get Your Logic On • The translation of the infinitive is dependent on the tense of the main verb. • Dicitpuerospugnare. • Main verb: present tense • Infinitive: present tense • Present tense infinitive=happens at the same time as the main verb. • Therefore: the infinitive is also translated presently. He says that the boys are fighting.

  12. Sequence of Tenses…Time To Get Your Logic On • The translation of the infinitive is dependent on the tense of the main verb. • Dixitpuerospugnare. • Main verb: past tense (perfect tense) • Infinitive: present tense • Present tense infinitive=happens at the same time as the main verb. • Therefore: the infinitive is also translated past-ly. He said that the boys were fighting.

  13. Sequence of Tenses…Time To Get Your Logic On • The translation of the infinitive is dependent on the tense of the main verb. • Dicetpuerospugnare. • Main verb: future tense • Infinitive: present tense • Present tense infinitive=happens at the same time as the main verb. • Therefore: the infinitive is also translated future-ly. He will say that the boys are fighting. • ***You don’t need to say “will fight” b/c the future is already implied by the English here.
