SUBORDINATE CLAUSES
Result clauses in Latin are similar to purpose clauses, with the obvious difference that they express a result. They’re easy to spot because you’ll get a hint that a result clause is coming up: “I was so tired that I fell asleep.” In Latin as in English, there will usually be a signalling phrase before the result clause proper: “I was so … that”, “It was such good fun … that,” “There was so much food … that.”
The Latin words for so, such, and so much are tam, talis, and tantus respectively. The formula for the actual result clause is ut + subjunctive for positive, ut non + subjunctive for negative. Look for the signalling phrase before an ut + subjunctive to tell a result clause from a purpose clause. The distinction is easier in the negative because you’ll have ut non rather than ne.
