    e.g. Caesar [ad pugnandos Helvetios] in *Gallia ivit.
3. Genitive of the gerund/ive followed by *gratia expresses purpose.
    e.g. Malli expellendi gratia (semper laborabat) {He always worked for the sake [of driving out evil]}
4. The Second Periphrastic: the gerundive (future passive participle) + sum. This is always passive and it expresses obligation.
    e.g. portandus sum: I must be carried (I have to be carried)
    e.g. monendus est: he must be warned (He has to be warned)
    e.g. capiendi sunt: they must be captured (They have to be captured)
    e.g. portandus erit: I had to be carried
    e.g. monedus erit: he will have to be warned
    e.g. portandus, -a, -um esse: to have to be carried
The most famous example of the second periphrastic was uttered by Cato the Elder during the Second Punic War. Carthago delenda est means Carthage must be destroyed.
