'aut neutrum'?

Verbum pars orationis cum tempore et persona, sine casu est, quod aliquid agit aut patitur - aut nec agit nec patitur (?)

A part of speech with tense and person [but] without case which something either does or suffers [has done to him] or neither does or suffers (?) [intransitive].
