Usage notes

This impersonal verb is always used in the third person, but may be inflected in number (singular or plural), tense (such as present or past) and mood (such as indicative or conditional). Grammatically speaking, the annoyed person is the object of the clause and the thing annoying him/her (se (“it”) in the example above) is the subject.
