«141.» Review the present, imperfect, and future active indicative, both orally and in writing, of «sum» and the verbs in §129.
«142.» We learned in §43 for what sort of expressions we may expect the dative, and in §44 that one of its commonest uses is with verbs to express the indirect object. It is also very common with adjectives to express the object toward which the quality denoted by the adjective is directed. We have already had a number of cases where «grātus», agreeable to, was so followed by a dative; and in the last lesson we had «molestus», annoying to, followed by that case. The usage may be more explicitly stated by the following rule:
«143.» RULE. «Dative with Adjectives.» The dative is used with adjectives to denote the object toward which the given quality is directed. Such are, especially, those meaning «near», also «fit», «friendly», «pleasing», «like», and their opposites.
