Usage notes[edit]

  • When related to weather or the passage of time, the verb fazer is impersonal in standard usage, and therefore cannot take a subject. It is also not inflected for number or person: it is used in the singular third-person form:
Faz duas horas.Two hours have passed.
Faz três segundos.Three seconds have passed.
Faz cinquenta anos.Fifty years have passed.
If not impersonal, it is conjugated normally. This happens because the third-person neuter singular is normally only implied (for demonstrative pronouns, see isto and aquilo).
