Grammatica

Indirect question with the subjunctive

Audī, quōmodo incipiat

An indirect question is a question that depends on a verb of saying, hearing or knowing, and its verb is in the subjunctive. Here 'quōmodo incipiat' means 'how it begins', and 'incipiat' is subjunctive because the question depends on 'Audī'.
