seems
SEEMZ/siːmz/
- 1Third-person singular simple present of seem.
The plan seems sound, but we should double-check the figures first.

Note
A linking verb, so what follows describes the subject rather than receiving an action: the plan seems sound, his story seems off. Besides an adjective, it takes a to-infinitive (it seems to work) or a that-clause, often after an empty it (it seems that nobody called). An obsolete meaning, "to befit," close to beseem, is gone. Modern seems always means "appears."
