Indefinite pronouns

Indefinite pronouns are used to refer generally to a person or thing that doesn’t need to be specifically identified or has already been mentioned. Here are some common indefinite pronouns:

  • one
  • other
  • none
  • some
  • anybody
  • everybody
  • no one

Here are a few examples of indefinite pronouns in sentences:

Everybody was late to work because of the traffic jam.

It matters more to some than to others.

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.

When an indefinite pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or clause, it usually takes singular verbs.
