The Indicative Mood.
[1813.] The indicative is used in simple declarations or descriptions introduced by a relative: as,
quem dī dīligunt, adulēscēns moritur, Pl. B. 816, whom the gods love, dies young. reliquī, qui domī mānsērunt, sē alunt, 4, 1, 5, the others, that stay at home, support themselves ([1736]). quōs labōrantēs cōnspexerat, hīs subsidia submittēbat, 4, 26, 4, to such as he saw in stress, he kept sending reinforcements ([1736]). tū quod volēs faciēs, QFr. 3, 4, 5, do what you like ([1735]).
[1814.] The indicative is also used with indefinite relative pronouns and adverbs: as, quidquid volt, valdē volt, Att. 14, 1, 2, whatever he wants, he wants mightily. quisquis est, TD. 4, 37, whoever he may be. quācumque iter fēcit, V. 1, 44, wherever he made his way. In later writers the imperfect or pluperfect is often in the subjunctive: see [1730].
[1815.] An original indicative often becomes subjunctive, particularly in indirect discourse ([1722]); or by attraction ([1728]); or to indicate repeated action ([1730]). See also [1727] and [1731].
The Subjunctive Mood.
[1816.] Relative pronoun sentences take the subjunctive to denote (1.) a purpose, (2.) a characteristic or result, (3.) a cause, reason, proof, or a concession.
[Sentences of Purpose.]
[1817.] (1.) Relative sentences of purpose are equivalent to subjunctive sentences introduced by ut, in order that, to ([1947]): as,
