RESULT CLAUSES

As the name suggests, a result clause tells us the result of the action of the main verb.

There are 6 signpost words to be aware of:

• tam = so

• tantus, -a, -um = so great, so big

• tot = so many

• adeo = so much, to such an extent

• ita = to such an extent, so

• talis, -e = such, of such a kind

The signpost is then followed by the latin word ‘ut’ and then a subjunctive.

E.g. servus tam celeriter cucurrit ut nemo eum capere posset = The slave ran so fast that no one was able to catch him.
