LESSON XX.
(Leccion vigesima.)

IMPERSONAL VERBS.

Impersonal verbs are those which are only conjugated in the 3rd pers.
sing, of all the tenses.[129]

[Footnote 129: They are so called because they have no person or thing
as their subject.]

The principal =Impersonal Verbs= are--

Llover-llueve (to rain, it rains)
Granizar (to hail)
Helar-hiela (to freeze, it freezes)
Lloviznar (to drizzle)
Nevar-nieva (to snow, it snows)
Relampaguear (to lighten)
Tronar-truena (to thunder, it thunders)
Alborear (to dawn)
Amanecer (to dawn)
Anochecer (to grow dark)

The subject (generally understood) of Impersonal verbs is _ello_.
Sometimes we find the words _Dios_ or _el dia_ expressed as subjects,
as--

Amanecera Dios y veremos: Let us wait for the morning and then we shall
see.

Amanecio el dia: The day dawned.

_Amanecer_ and _anochecer_ may be used as personal verbs, as--

Amanecimos en Madrid y anochecimos en Guadalajara: We were in Madrid at
daybreak and at nightfall in Guadalajara.

Tu anocheciste bueno y amaneciste malo: You passed the night well, but
you had a bad morning.

Many ordinary verbs are used sometimes impersonally, as--

Bastar (to suffice).
Convenir (to suit).
Parecer (to appear).
Faltar[130] (to be wanting).
Hacer falta (to be wanted).
Suceder[131] (to happen).

[Footnote 130: As a personal verb, it means also "to fail."]

[Footnote 131: As a personal verb, it means also "to succeed."]

EXAMPLES--

Basta ganar la vida: It is enough to earn a living.

No conviene explotar esta mina: It does not pay to exploit this mine.

No parece justo que se aprovechen de este modo: It does not seem right
that they should take advantage in this way.

Falta hacer algunos arreglos: Some arrangements are still wanting.
