What is an "indefinite pronoun"?
An indefinite pronoun is a type of pronoun that refers to non-specific people, things, or amounts. Indefinite pronouns do not point to any particular individual or object and can be singular or plural. Common examples include "someone," "anyone," "everyone," "something," "anything," "few," "many," and "all." For instance, in the sentence "Someone left their umbrella," the pronoun "someone" does not specify who that person is. Similarly, in "Many enjoyed the concert," "many" refers to an unspecified number of people. Understanding indefinite pronouns is important for expressing generalizations or unspecified references in language.
