| Passive skeletons have two skeleton items:
a subject (a noun or noun equivalent) and a transitive verb
in the passive voice. In such a skeleton,
the subject in the one on whom the action of the verb is performed. Here are some examples in English and Latin (the
skeleton in each has been underlined): Multitudo non ratione ducitur sed impetu, "the crowd is not led by reason, but by impulse" Eques Romanus a servo eius monetur, "the Roman equestrian is warned by his slave" |
