Impersonal sentences are sentences
where there is no natural subject. We
usually have the word there or it in
the subject position.
We use:
There + be to say that someone/
something exists. There is a
museum in my town .
It + be for identification. There's a
letter for you. It's from overseas.
It + be for distance (It's 2 km
from here to the city centre.),
temperature (It's hot in here.),
time (It's one o'clock.), weather
(It's sunny today.) and in
expressions such as: it seems/
appears that, it looks like, it
doesn't matter, etc
(It seems that the bus is late.)
