Usage notes
  • (feel sick): This impersonal verb is always used in the third person singular, but may be inflected in tense (such as present or past) and mood (such as indicative or conditional). The 'subject' of the verb is inflected in the partitive case. The person who feels sick is grammatically the object of the sentence and the thing that causes the feeling (if mentioned) is the subject.
Conjugation

Mostly only used in the third person.
