There are two periphrastic conjugations formed respectively from the future participles in rus and dus, combined with the various tenses of the verb esse. The first periphrastic conjugation represents the action as future, or as one that is about to be done; e.g scriptūris sum, I am about to write: the second expresses duty o. necessity; e. g., virtus colendă est, virtue must be cultivated.

601. Impersonal Verbs.

1. Impersonal verbs are such as are used only in the third person singular, and never.take a personal subject (as I, thou, he). The subject in English is generally expressed by the pronoun it; e. g., Oportet, it behooves.

Taedět mě, it disgusts me (I am disgusted with).

2. Besides the verbs which are strictly impersonal, many others are often used impersonally; e. g.,

Constăt, it is known.

Juvăt, it delights.

3. The second periphrastic conjugation is often used imperson

ally; e. g.,

Mihi scribendum est,
Tibi scribendum est,
Illi scribendum est,
Nōbis scribendum est,
Vōbis scribendum est,

I must or should write.
you must or should write.
he must or should write.
we must or should write.
you must or should write.

Illis scribendum est, they must or should write.

4. Those verbs which take no direct object in the active, can only be used impersonally in the passive; e. g.,

Mihf creditur,

Tibf creditur,

I am believed.

Thou art believed.
