Indefinite pronouns refer to nonspecific people or things. They do not point to a particular noun, so they can be singular or plural, depending on their meaning.

• Examples:
  • Singular: someone, anyone, nobody, each, either, everything, nothing
  • Plural: few, several, many, both, others
  • Singular or Plural: all, none, some, any, most
• Rules:
  • Use singular indefinite pronouns with singular verbs.
  • Use plural indefinite pronouns with plural verbs.
  • Some indefinite pronouns can be either singular or plural depending on the context of the sentence.
• Examples in Sentences:
  • Everyone is invited to the party. (singular)
  • Few were able to finish the race. (plural)
  • All of the cake is gone. (singular: all refers to “cake”)
  • All of the students were present. (plural: all refers to “students”)

Note: Be careful with subject-verb agreement when using indefinite pronouns, especially those that can be singular or plural based on context.
