The impersonal verbs, as we have already said, page 100, are those which are never used but in the third person singular; the pronoun il, which precedes them, never taking the place of any noun. Il tonne; it thunders. Many other verbs are used impersonally, when the sub. ject or nominative il cannot be referred to an antecedent Ex. noun. Il vous convient d'étre modeste; it becomes you to be modest, Il fait beau, froid, &c.; Il semble; Il s'ensuit que; Il vaut mieux que; Il y a deux ans ; Il est des hommes vertueux; it is fine, cold, &c. Impersonal verbs, like others, whether regular or irregular, have their different tenses, and are conjugated in the same manner as the personal verbs, with this difference, that they have only the third person singular. Cond. pres. Il pleuvait, it was raining. Il plut, it rained. Il pleuvra, it will rain. Il pleuvrait, it would or should rain. |
