[*] 290. An adjective, agreeing with the subject or object, is often used to qualify the action of the verb, and so has the force of an adverb:—

prīmus vēnit, he was the first to come (came first).
nūllus dubitō, I no way doubt.
laetī audiēre, they were glad to hear.
“erat Rōmae frequēns ” (Rosc. Am. 16) , he was often at Rome.
“ sērus in caelum redeās ” (Hor. Od. 1.2.45) , mayst thou return late to heaven.

Ginn and Company, 1903.
