Grammatica
Indirect statement (accusative and infinitive)
certior fīēbat omnēs Belgās coniūrāre
After verbs of telling, hearing or knowing, Latin puts the subject of the reported statement in the accusative (omnēs Belgās) and its verb in the infinitive (coniūrāre). The direct statement was 'Belgae coniūrant', but in the reported form the subject changes from nominative to accusative and the verb becomes an infinitive.
