I found sentence 43 of Prendergast's The Mastery Series: Latin somewhat surprising:
Considering that the main sentence has a secondary tense, I expected the verb of the dependent clause to be in the imperfect subjunctive (ut...castigaret). Why present subjunctive instead? According to A&G it is possible, but hardly the ordinary case. Or am I missing some nuance in the English sentence?Prendergast wrote: My angry friend has hastened in order that he may chastise the messenger of thy uncle.
Amicus meus iratus properavit ut nuntium patrui tui castiget.
Valete,
Carolus Raeticus
