IMPERSONAL OFFERS WITH THE FORMAL SUBJECT IT - IMPERSONAL SENTENCES WITH THE FORMAL SUBJECT IT

It is necessary to distinguish in formal and content terms two structures: there be and it be. Let's analyze from this point view the following two sentences:
There are fi ve rooms in the house. (The house has five rooms.) It is warm in the house. (The house is warm.)
As mentioned above, the structure there be qualifies as existential, because it means being (existence) in a certain place of something or someone. In its composition, this structure contains a noun (less often a pronoun). The it be structure has a different meaning: it denotes a state and is called impersonal. Such a structure (in this example) followed by an adjective.Verb to be in sentences with the it be structure is used practically only in the group of simple tenses (is, was, will be).
However, there is a model of impersonal sentences with the structure it be, followed by a noun, usually abstract, but the general meaning of such sentences does not change - they denote the state of nature. In Russian, they correspond to nominative (nominative) sentences:
It is winter. Winter.
It was midnight. It was midnight.
