277. Daed'alus and Ic'arus (Continued)
Tum Daedalus gravibus cūrīs commōtus fīliō suō Īcarō ita dixit: “Animus meus, Īcare, est plēnus trīstitiae nec oculī lacrimīs egent. Discēdere ex Crētā, Athēnās properāre, maximē studeō; sed rēx recūsat audīre verba mea et omnem reditūs spem ēripit. Sed numquam rēbus adversīs vincar. Terra et mare sunt inimīca, sed aliam fugae viam reperiam.” Tum in artīs ignōtās animum dīmittit et mīrum capit cōnsilium. Nam pennās in ōrdine pōnit et vērās ālās facit.
LESSON XLIX
PRONOUNS CLASSIFIED • PERSONAL AND REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
278. We have the same kinds of pronouns in Latin as in English. They are divided into the following eight classes:
- Personal pronouns, which show the person speaking, spoken to, or spoken of; as, ego, I; tū, you; is, he. (Cf. § 279. etc.)
- Possessive pronouns, which denote possession; as, meus, tuus, suus, etc. (Cf. § 98.)
- Reflexive pronouns, used in the predicate to refer back to the subject; as, he saw himself. (Cf. § 281.)
- Intensive pronouns, used to emphasize a noun or pronoun; as, I myself saw it. (Cf. § 285.)
- Demonstrative pronouns, which point out persons or things;as, is, this, that. (Cf. § 112.)
- Relative pronouns, which connect a subordinate adjective clause with an antecedent; as, quī, who. (Cf. § 220.)
- Interrogative pronouns, which ask a question; as, quis, who? (Cf. § 225.)
- Indefinite pronouns, which point out indefinitely; as, some one, any one, some, certain ones, etc. (Cf. § 296.)
279. The demonstrative pronoun is, ea, id, as we learned in § 115, is regularly used as the personal pronoun of the third person (he, she, it, they, etc.).
