Yes, the phrase “Seems like bad news are incoming” is a mistake that is quite typical for Italian speakers learning English. Here’s why:
1. Omission of the subject “It”
• Correct English: It seems like bad news is incoming.
• In English, impersonal constructions typically require the subject “It” (e.g., It seems, It looks like, It appears).
• In Italian, the subject is often implied and not explicitly stated (e.g., Sembra che stiano arrivando brutte notizie), so Italian speakers may drop “It” in English.
