Gildersleeve & Lodge on the est vs. fuit question
Linea 20:
OK, here's what Gildersleeve and Lodge says:
:'''250.''' The Perfect Participle passive is used in combination with '''sum,''' ''I am,'' and '''fuī,''' ''I have been, I was,'' to express the Pure Perfect and Historical Perfect of the Passive Voice. '''Eram,''' ''I was,'' and '''fueram,''' ''I had been,'' stand for the Pluperfect ; and '''erō,''' ''I shall be,'' and '''fuerō,''' ''I shall have been,'' for the Future Perfect.
:<small>R<small>EMARKS.—I.</small> '''Fuī''' is the ''favorite'' form whent the participle is frequently used as an adjective : '''convīvium exōrnātum fuit,''' ''the banquet was furnished forth ;'' fuī is the ''necessary'' form when the Pf. denotes that the action is over and gone ; '''amātus fuī,''' ''I have been loved'' (but I am loved no longer). The same principle applies to '''fueram''' and '''fuerō''' though not so regularly.</small>
(I am now taking a cautionary save, but more is coming)
