The Archaic Construction Game!
I have created for myself (Middle) this thread, that we might (Conditional/Subjunctive (?)) Practice in itself, forms of language which by this time are considered to be archaic.
Most cases can just be used as usual, however some do need to have themselves displayed in brackets afterwords. These are:
Middle
Subjunctive
Optative
Future Perfect
Past Participle(s) (please state which participle in such a case)
Points are awarded like this
V for an unusual preposition (such as "so that we might", or even "on account of")
VI for each roman numeral, (or if possible, greek numeral) used instead of an arabic number.
X for a past participle
XX for a future perfect,
XXX for a passive,
L for a Subjunctive,
C for a Middle,
D for an Optative
No points for incorrectly used/identified parts of speech/tenses
All other parts of speech/tenses get a score of VIII points each.
The winner is the person having the most points when this game has come unto a close :wink:
