The Perfect Infinitive expresses an action of a time prior to the leading Verb; as—

dīcō tē errāssĕ I say that you wrong (or  wrong).

dīxī tē errāssĕ I said that you wrong.

The Future Infinitive expresses an action of a time future to the leading Verb; as— dīcō tē errātūrum I say that you be wrong.

§205. 1. If the Subject of the Infinitive is expressed with the Infinitive, it is put into the Accusative : cŭpĭō tē vĕnīrĕ I wish you to come; bŏvem lŏquī mōnstrum est it is a irodigy that an ox should speak.

Any Adjectival Complements referring to the Subject of the Infinitive agree with it in the Ace.: cŭpĭō tē incŏlŭmem ăbīrĕ I wish you to go away unharmed.
