   {Impersonal verb} (Gram.), a verb used with an indeterminate
      subject, commonly, in English, with the impersonal pronoun
      it; as, it rains; it snows; methinks (it seems to me).
      Many verbs which are not strictly impersonal are often
      used impersonally; as, it goes well with him.
