Dependent Use

• Subjunctive word is NOT used by itself, but is dependent on having some other stuff

• Often has this set up:

Introducing word sign post word subj. verb(does not have to (particular to be subjunctive) certain dependent

use and so is a “sign”as to which use it is)

Pg. 6 Indirect Question

Introducing word sign post word subj. verbVerb of knowledge question word(Scio, Rogo, etc.) (Quis, cur, etc.)

Scio quid ageres.I know what you were doing.

Draw a picture of someone or something using an indirect question in English. Don’t make fun of my example!

“Caveat” (warning)

• You can have an indirect question inside of a direct question, so long as the criteria for each are met. So do NOT look at punctuation of the sentence to determine type.

• Mirarisne quaenam sis?
