Demonstrative Adj preceed the noun ILLA

[blutoonwithcarrotandnail]

Demonstrative adj proceed the noun they modify:

ILLE PEUR

this means 'that boy''

i believe that this is because 'boy' is specified

Such as in the use of a demonstrative adj like: That boy is walking

the concept of the verb is superfluous to the application of the
demonstrative adjective itself

if it had been a substatative adj it would have read 'He is walking'
in which case 'boy' was not specified but 'he' was used instead


thanks.



i am concerted

I think that what you are saying is fine on all points. Don't be disconcerted.
Quae dicis undiquè bona esse puto. Inconfusus esto.

Just a tiny point I suddenly noticed. On its own, "ille" is not a "substantive adjective"; it's called a "substantive pronoun" or just a "pronoun". It's not an adjective.
Est parvula res quam modò animadverti. "Ille" non "adjectivum substantivum" sed "pronomen substantivum" vel solum "pronomen" vocatur. Adjectivum non est.

Adrianus,
I think I have seen them termed adjectives in some Grammars, though I can't find any now. They function essentially as adjectives in many Latin sentences.
I'll see if I can find the reference. Maybe it is in my head!
