Latin Grammar: Impersonal Verbs
Nam et in eo quod sequitur: Et sub viri potestate eris, et ipse dominabitur tui, cum et ante peccatum aliter factam fuisse non deceat credere mulierem, nisi ut vir ei dominaretur, et sub eius ipsa potestate degeret, recte accipi potest hanc servitutem significatam, quae cuiusdam conditionis est potius quam dilectionis, ut etiam ipsa talis servitus, qua homines hominibus postea servi esse coeperunt, de poena peccati reperiatur exorta.
Impersonal Latin verbs are those found primarily in the the third personal singular. The subject of the verb is not the subject of the sentence, since the subject is impersonal. In English, phrases like "It please me" also have an impersonal construction. In Latin, the subject is usually expressed in the accusative or dative case, depending on the verb.
