🔍 Explanation:
Each of these words does
not refer to a specific person or thing:
- *Everything* = all things
- *Nothing* = no thing
- *All* = the entire group
- *Something* = an unknown object
- *Anywhere* = any place
These are classic examples of
indefinite pronouns, which are used when we're talking generally rather than specifically.
