[CORRELATIVE PRONOUNS.]
[695]. Pronouns often correspond with each other in meaning and form; some of the commonest correlatives are the following:
| Kind. | Interrogative. | Indefinite. | Demonstrative, Determinative, &c. | Relative. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | quis, quī, who? | quis, quī, aliquis | hīc, iste, ille is, quisque | quī |
| Alternative | uter, which of the two? | uter, alteruter | uterque | uter, quī |
| Number | quot, how many? ([431]) | aliquot | tot | quot |
| Quantity | quantus, how large? ([613]) | aliquantus, quantusvīs | tantus | quantus |
| Quality | quālis, of what sort? ([630]) | quālislibet | tālis | quālis |
[THE ADVERB,
THE CONJUNCTION, AND THE PREPOSITION.]
[I. NOUNS AS ADVERBS.]
[696]. Adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions are chiefly noun or pronoun cases which have become fixed in a specific form and with a specific meaning. Many of these words were still felt to be live cases, even in the developed period of the language; with others the consciousness of their noun character was lost.
[697]. Three cases are used adverbially: the accusative, the ablative, and the locative.
[698.] The rather indeterminate meaning of the accusative and the ablative is sometimes more exactly defined by a preposition. The preposition may either accompany its usual case: as, adamussim, admodum, īlicō; or it may be loosely prefixed, with more of the nature of an adverb than of a preposition, to a case with which it is not ordinarily used: as, examussim, intereā. Sometimes it stands after the noun: as, parumper, a little while. Besides the three cases named above, other forms occur, some of which are undoubtedly old case endings, though they can no longer be recognized as such: see [710].
