a. Deponents have the participles of both voices: -
sequéns, following. | secútúrus, about to follow. |
secútus, having followed. | sequendus, to be followed. |
b. The perfect participle generally has an active sense, but in verbs otherwise deponent it is often passive: as, mercátus, bought; adeptus, gained (or having gained).
c. The future infinitive is always in the active form: thus, sequor has secútúrus (-a, -um) esse (not secútum írí).
d. The gerundive, being passive in meaning, is found only in transitive verbs, or intransitive verbs used impersonally: -
e. Most deponents are intransitive or reflexive in meaning, corresponding to what in Greek is called the Middle Voice (§ 156. a. N.).
f. Some deponents are occasionally used in a passive sense: as, críminor, I accuse, or I am accused.
g. About twenty verbs have an active meaning in both active and passive forms: as, mereó or mereor, I deserve.
