LESSON LXVII

THE IRREGULAR VERBS VOLO:, NO:LO:, MALO:
THE ABLATIVE WITH A PARTICIPLE, OR ABLATIVE ABSOLUTE

379. Learn the principal parts and conjugation of volo:\, _wish_; no:lo:\ (ne + volo:), be unwilling; malo:\ (magis + volo:), _be more willing, prefer_ (Sec. 497).  Note the irregularities in the present indicative, subjunctive, and infinitive, and in the imperfect subjunctive. (Cf.  Sec. 354.)

a. These verbs are usually followed by the infinitive with or without a subject accusative; as, volunt venire\, _they wish to come_; volunt amico:s venire\, they wish their friends to come.  The English usage is the same.[1]

    [Footnote 1:  Sometimes the subjunctive of purpose is used after
    these verbs. (See Sec. 366.)]
