Ubi cupit eōs metū аut misericоrdiā mоvērī, metū аut misericоrdiā oppressī terrentur аut flent. What is the form of oppressī in this sentence?

Inflectiоn One оf the things thаt mаny peоple notice when they first stаrt learning Latin is how economical it appears compared to English: Latin seems to say things in far fewer words than in English. In English, for example, the verbal phrase "we will study" requires three words: "we" indicates the person and number (1st person, plural); the auxiliary verb "will" indicates the tense (future, signifying that the action has not happened yet); and "study" indicates the action of the verb. In Latin, this operation can be achieved in a single word: studēbimus. This is because Latin is a more highly inflected language than English: what English achieves with pronouns like "we" and auxiliary verbs like "will", Latin achieves by adding morphemes (these are usually referred to as "endings" in Latin) to "inflect" the word to provide it with a clear and distinct grammatical function. The study of inflection in language is called "morphology", and is an important part of how we study a language. Even though English uses auxiliary verbs more frequently than Latin, it still uses inflections in many places. For example, when we conjugate the English verb "to praise" -- that is, when we list all the different person and number combinations that form can exhibit -- in the "present" tense, "active" mood, and "indicative" voice, we see the following inflections: Person     Singular Person     Plural 1st "I praise"        1st "we praise" 2nd "you praise" 2nd "you (y'all) praise" 3rd "he, she, it praises" 3rd "they praise" In most instances, the only way we can distinguish person and number in this conjugation is the personal pronoun (I, you, he/she/it, etc.). In the third person singular, however, English adds the morpheme or ending "-s" in addition to the personal pronouns (e.g. "he praises", "she warns"). Now look at how Latin performs this same operation to answer the next couple of questions.
