Impersonal verbs are verbs that do not use a specific subject, but instead use the generic subject it. They’re often called “weather verbs” or “meteorological verbs” because they’re commonly used to describe the weather, like in the impersonal verb examples “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing.” Words and phrases with asterisks mean that they are not always impersonal, depending on the meaning. be* blizzard come to* darken* drizzle* get* go without saying* hail* happen* look like* occur* pour* rain say* sleet snow storm thunder
