What is meant by mood?
the manner in which the action
of the verb is conveyed.
The indicative mood indicates a fact.
He is running.
The farmers will plow the field.
The wheat is carried into the barn.
The imperative mood gives a command
addressed to a second person(s).

Cum Causal Clauses
1.
Subordinate clauses that are introduced by
the conjunction cum may be cum causal
clauses; cum is translated since or because.
Such clauses state the reason for the action
of the main clause.

nos adiuvare.

forbade the his own men to help us.
Cum Circumstantial Clauses

Subordinate clauses that are introduced by
the conjunction cum may also be cum
circumstantial clauses; cum is translated as
when. Such clauses describe the
circumstances that accompanied or
preceded the action of the main clause.
Cum quattuor dies navigavissemus, subito maxima
tempestas coorta est.
When we had sailed four days, suddenly a great storm
arose.
N.B.
Often only the context and
sense will tell you whether
cum is to be translated
since/because or when.

Who are you?
b.
indirect question: Piratae rogabant
qui essemus.
The pirates were asking who we
were.
a.
direct question: Unde venistis?

After the introductory words
Piratae rogabant, the direct

subordinate clauses are called
indirect questions.
