The second periphrastic conjugation uses the gerundive. The infinitive, participle, and gerundive are not verbal moods. Eventually the gerundive in the nominative case came to substitute for the present participle. More regularly, the gerundive came to be used as a future passive participle. The gerundive could be used as either a predicative or an attributive adjective. In Late Latin, the distinction between gerundive and future participle was sometimes lost. To express such concepts, the construction with the adjectival gerundive is preferred. The present and future participles are always active, the gerundive usually passive. Because it is passive in meaning, the gerundive is usually formed from transitive verbs. The Latin gerundive is a form of the verb. A verb in the gerundive can be used alone or serially with another gerundive verb. However, the great majority of gerundive forms were used with passive meaning of transitive verbs. Further infinitives can be made using the gerundive. Often, the gerundive is used with part of the verb , to show obligation.
