Learning Targets  Recognize when a verb is transitive or intransitive  Understand what the ablative of agent looks like and how it is used in a sentence  Differentiate between ablative of agent and the other uses of ablative case  To recognize the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs  To enhance our understanding of, and ability to use, the passive voice

Transitive Verbs  A verb is considered a transitive verb when its action is carried across to a person or thing (the direct object) or produces a result. (trans means across; the action is ‘going across’ to an object or result) Examples  Canem amat – He loves the dog.  Viam muniverunt – They built a road

Intransitive Verbs  An intransitive verb does not have a direct object. It does not carry action over to something. Examples  Julius ambulat. – Julius walks.  In casa Claudia mansit – Claudia remained in the house. NOTE – generally intransitive verbs just never work used in the passive voice. You should easily be able to tell which ones won’t work!

Changing sentence order to passive voice  What happens when an active voice sentence containing a transitive verb is changed around to become passive voice?  ‘Anna aquam portat’ becomes: Aqua ab Annā portātur. Aqua ab Annā portātur.  ‘Virōs videō’ becomes: Virī ā mē videntur. Virī ā mē videntur.  What does the d.o. in the active voice become in the passive voice?  What does the subject of the active sentence become in the passive voice? (o. of p.)  The verb ending changes from active to passive and may change person.

Examples  Anna aquam portat – Anna carries the water.  Aqua ab Ann  Aqua ab Annā portātur – The water is carried by Anna.   Virōs videō - I see the men.   Virī ā mē videntur. - The men are seen by me.

The ablative of agent ALWAYS uses the preposition a or ab (ablative of means never uses a preposition) The ablative of agent ALWAYS uses the preposition a or ab (ablative of means never uses a preposition) The ablative of agent always refers to a person (ablative of means refers to a thing) The ablative of agent always refers to a person (ablative of means refers to a thing) NOTE: ab only means ‘by’ when used before nouns referring to a person acting upon the subject in the passive voice. ‘By’ is shown as a definition of a/ab in the glossary.
