Indefinite Pronouns Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

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.

Indefinite Pronouns List:

- 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" is correct.
✔ C. anyone

---

4. ____ has cast a vote.
→ This suggests each individual in a group. "Each" fits best.
✔ E. each

---

5. ____ is fine.
→ This could be referring to any option or thing. "Anything" works well.
✔ D. anything

---

6. ____ thinks that this is crazy.
→ This refers to some unspecified person. "Somebody" fits.
✔ B. somebody

---

7. ____ are satisfied with this outcome.
→ Plural verb ("are") means we need a plural pronoun. "Everybody" is singular, so not correct. But "each" is singular. Wait — “everyone” is singular, but “everybody” is also singular. Hmm. Let's check:
“Everyone”/“everybody” → singular
But the sentence says “are”, which is plural. So “everybody” can’t be used here.
Wait — perhaps it's a typo? Or maybe it's meant to be “All”?

But looking at options: Only G. everybody is plural in meaning? No — actually, “everybody” is grammatically singular.

Wait — perhaps the intended answer is G. everybody, but that would require “is”, not “are”. So contradiction.

Alternatively, maybe the sentence is: “____ are satisfied…” — implying multiple people.

But none of the options are plural except possibly “each” (but “each” takes singular).

Wait — let’s reconsider: Is there a mistake?

Actually, “Everybody” is singular, so it should be “is”, not “are”.

But the sentence says “are”, so perhaps it's not “everybody”.

Is there a plural indefinite pronoun? “None” can be singular or plural depending on context.

But “none” usually takes singular verb unless it refers to a plural noun.

Wait — look at option H. none — “None are satisfied…” is acceptable in informal English when emphasizing plurality.

So “None are satisfied…” = “Not one of them is satisfied.” → plural usage.

So “None” could work.

But “Everybody” doesn't work because it’s singular.

So H. none might be better.

But let’s read: “____ are satisfied…”

We need a plural indefinite pronoun.

Options:
- A. another → singular
- B. somebody → singular
- C. anyone → singular
- D. anything → singular
- E. each → singular
- F. either → singular
- G. everybody → singular
- H. none → can be singular or plural

So only H. none can be plural.

Therefore, “None are satisfied...” is acceptable.

✔ H. none

8. ____ is capable of doing this task.
→ This refers to any person who can do it. “Anyone” fits.
✔ C. anyone

---

9. ____ will take your place.
→ One other person will replace you. “Another” fits perfectly.
✔ A. another

---

10. ____ rang the doorbell.
→ Someone did it. “Somebody” is correct.
✔ B. somebody

---

11. ____ has taken an interest.
→ One person (unknown). “Somebody” fits.
✔ B. somebody

---

12. ____ will show up soon.
→ Likely referring to a single person. “Another” or “somebody”?
But “another” implies a second one. “Somebody” is more general.
But “someone” is missing. Wait — “somebody” is there.
“Somebody will show up soon.” → correct.
✔ B. somebody

But wait — “another” could work if it's a second person.

But no context about a previous person. So “somebody” is safer.

✔ B. somebody

---

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.
→ Any choice is acceptable. “Anything” or “either”?
But “either” means two choices. “Anything” is better for open-ended.
✔ D. anything

---

15. ____ you can do, I can do better.
→ This means: “Whatever you can do…” → “Anything” fits.
✔ D. anything

---

Explanation Recap:

- Somebody (B): Used for an unspecified person.
- Anyone (C): Used when referring to any person, often in questions or negatives.
- Anything (D): Used for non-specific things.
- Each (E): Refers to every individual in a group.
- Another (A): One more, different from the current one.
- None (H): Not one; can be singular or plural depending on context.
- Everybody (G): All people; singular, so requires singular verb.
- Either (F): One of two options.

The key is matching the pronoun to the context (singular/plural, person/thing, positive/negative, etc.).
