THE INDICATIVE MOOD.

1813. The indicative is used in simple declarations or descriptions

introduced by a relative: as,

#quem dī dīligunt, adulēscēns moritur#, Pl. _B._ 816, _whom the gods

love, dies young_. #reliquī, qui domī mānsērunt, sē alunt#, 4, 1, 5,

_the others, that stay at home, support themselves_ (1736). #quōs

labōrantēs cōnspexerat, hīs subsidia submittēbat#, 4, 26, 4, _to such as

he saw in stress, he kept sending reinforcements_ (1736). #tū quod volēs

faciēs#, _QFr._ 3, 4, 5, _do what you like_ (1735).

1814. The indicative is also used with indefinite relative pronouns and

adverbs: as, #quidquid volt, valdē volt#, _Att._ 14, 1, 2, _whatever he

wants, he wants mightily_. #quisquis est#, _TD._ 4, 37, _whoever he may

be_. #quācumque iter fēcit#, _V._ 1, 44, _wherever he made his way_. In

later writers the imperfect or pluperfect is often in the subjunctive:

see 1730.

1815. An original indicative often becomes subjunctive, particularly in

indirect discourse (1722); or by attraction (1728); or to indicate

repeated action (1730). See also 1727 and 1731.
