Step-by-step solution for: Indefinite Pronouns Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to choose an indefinite pronoun from the list (A–H) to complete each sentence correctly.
- A. another
- B. somebody
- C. anyone
- D. anything
- E. each
- F. either
- G. everybody
- H. none
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence and pick the correct pronoun.
---
1. ____ is listening to us.
→ We need a subject pronoun that refers to one person or a group. "Somebody" fits here.
✔ B. somebody
---
2. ____ is possible if you believe in it.
→ This refers to something that could happen — a general idea. "Anything" fits.
✔ D. anything
---
3. ____ could see us here.
→ This implies someone unknown or unspecified. "Anyone" means "any person."
✔ C. anyone
---
4. ____ has cast a vote.
→ This suggests a single person who voted. "Somebody" makes sense.
✔ B. somebody
---
5. ____ is fine.
→ This is a general statement of acceptance. "Anything" works: “Anything is fine.”
✔ D. anything
---
6. ____ thinks that this is crazy.
→ Someone believes this. "Somebody" is appropriate.
✔ B. somebody
---
7. ____ are satisfied with this outcome.
→ The plural verb "are" tells us we need a plural pronoun. "Everybody" is singular; "each" and "either" are singular too. But “everybody” is often used with singular verbs. However, “none” can be plural or singular. Wait — actually, “everyone” is singular, but here the verb is “are”, so we need a plural subject. Let's check options:
Wait — G. everybody → singular
But sentence uses “are”, so we need a plural pronoun.
But look at the options:
- E. each → singular
- F. either → singular
- G. everybody → singular
- H. none → can be singular or plural
But “none” can be plural: “None are satisfied.”
So:
✔ H. none
Because: "None are satisfied with this outcome." = “Not one of them is satisfied” — but “none” can take a plural verb.
Alternatively, maybe “everybody” was intended, but that would require “is”, not “are”.
So best fit: ✔ H. none
---
8. ____ is capable of doing this task.
→ General statement about people. "Anybody" or "everyone" would work, but "anyone" is listed.
"Anyone" means "any person" — fits perfectly.
✔ C. anyone
---
9. ____ will take your place.
→ One person will replace you. "Another" fits: “Another will take your place.”
✔ A. another
---
10. ____ rang the doorbell.
→ Someone did it. "Somebody" is best.
✔ B. somebody
---
11. ____ has taken an interest.
→ One person or some unspecified person. "Somebody" fits.
✔ B. somebody
---
12. ____ will show up soon.
→ "Everybody" or "someone"? But “will show up” is future tense. “Everybody” is likely — everyone is expected.
“Each” is possible, but “everybody” sounds more natural.
✔ G. everybody
---
13. ____ you can imagine, can be.
→ This is tricky. “Anything you can imagine, can be.”
Yes — “anything” fits.
✔ D. anything
---
14. ____ will do. I'm not picky.
→ “Anything will do.” Meaning: any option is acceptable.
✔ D. anything
---
15. ____ you can do, I can do better.
→ This is a comparison: “Whatever you can do, I can do better.”
So: “Anything you can do…”
✔ D. anything
Wait — but “anything” is already used multiple times. Is that okay? Yes — indefinite pronouns can repeat.
But let’s double-check:
“Anything you can do, I can do better.” → Perfect.
---
1. B – somebody
2. D – anything
3. C – anyone
4. B – somebody
5. D – anything
6. B – somebody
7. H – none
8. C – anyone
9. A – another
10. B – somebody
11. B – somebody
12. G – everybody
13. D – anything
14. D – anything
15. D – anything
