It was observed above, (see page 28,) that besides its own radical signification, a verb may mark a person of whom that signification is affirmed. When this is not the case, the verb is said to be impersonal. In English, impersonal verbs have before them the neuter pronoun it; as, it becomes, it happens. In Greek, they have the form of the third person singular. Xon, it behoveth; ixon, it did behove ; The following are among the most com-xers, it shall behove; xovar, and xen, to behove; To xgor, that which behoveth. mon: Πρέπει, it becomes ; ἔπρεπε, it did become ; TETE, to become; TO TOTOY, that which becomes; and in the plural, a TGÉTOVTA. Mé, it is a care; pens, it was a care; μελήσει, it shall be a care ; μεμέληκε, it hath been a care. A great many verbs, which in general express the designation of person, are sometimes used impersonally; as, dgioner, it pleaseth; agzi, it sufficeth; goone, it is convenient ; συμβαίνει, it happens ; συμ Pége, it profits.
