it seems vs it seem

Both "it seems" and "it seem" are not directly comparable as they are used in different contexts. "It seems" is the correct form and is commonly used in English to express an opinion or impression. On the other hand, "it seem" is incorrect because the verb "seem" should agree in number with the subject, which is "it" in this case.
