Usage notesEdit

When related to weather or passage of time, the verb fazer is impersonal in standard usage, therefore cannot take a subject. It is also not inflected to 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 so happens as the singular third-person neutral is conjugated for without an accompanying pronoun. (For the demonstrative counterparts, see isto and aquilo)
