CONTENT

Indefinite Pronouns are those pronouns that don’t refer to specific people or things.

 

Below are examples of indefinite pronouns:

any                             some                          all

anybody                  somebody               everybody

anyone                     someone                  everyone

anything                   something                everything

 

none                          few

nobody                    little

no one                      many

nothing                     several

 

Note that some indefinite pronouns take singular verbs while others take plural verbs

Examples:

Everyone is present

Nobody cares about him

Something is missing somewhere.

Everybody has left for the occasion

Few are needed for the job

Many want to be like her

 

Also, some indefinite pronouns can be used to show ownership/ possession

Example:

That is somebody’s pencil

Don’t steal anyone’s property

His health is everybody’s concern

 

Reciprocal Pronouns:

These pronouns are used when the actions of the verbs are shared by two or more people or things. Reciprocal pronouns are of two forms: “Each other” and “one another.”

Examples:

My friend and I love each other dearly.

The players congratulated one another on their victory.

 

Note that “Each other” is used when two people or things shared the action while “One another” is used when more than two people or things are involved.
