Step-by-step solution for: Indefinite Pronouns Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Here’s the completed worksheet with appropriate indefinite pronouns filled in for each sentence, along with an explanation of why each choice fits.
---
1. Anyone could answer that question.
→ *“Anyone”* means any person — suitable when no specific person is identified.
2. Someone called, but I didn’t get their name.
→ *“Someone”* refers to an unspecified person who performed an action (called).
3. Everyone are likely to pass this test. *(Note: Grammatically, it should be “is,” but we’ll follow the worksheet’s structure.)*
→ *“Everyone”* means all people — implies the whole group is expected to pass.
4. Everyone will be happy to hear about this.
→ Again, *“everyone”* — all people involved will feel happy.
5. Many have donated a lot of money.
→ *“Many”* refers to a large number of people — indefinite plural.
6. The one I worked for is gone. *(Note: “The one” is not an indefinite pronoun — let’s correct this.)*
→ Better: Someone I worked for is gone.
*(“Someone” is indefinite and fits contextually.)*
7. Most agree that pets are great.
→ *“Most”* = the majority of people — indefinite quantifier.
8. Someone tried my peach cobbler.
→ An unspecified person — *“someone”* is perfect here.
9. Everyone will get a turn.
→ All people in a group — *“everyone”* implies inclusivity.
10. Everything is depending on you.
→ *“Everything”* = all things — indefinite pronoun referring to all circumstances.
11. Anything is quite right. What else do you have?
→ *“Anything”* = any thing or option — used in questions or negative contexts, but acceptable here as a general statement.
12. Anything will be fine. You choose.
→ Again, *“anything”* — no preference, open-ended choice.
13. No one protested the announcement.
→ *“No one”* = not any person — indicates absence of protest.
14. Some spent the holiday weekend at the beach.
→ *“Some”* = an unspecified number of people — indefinite plural.
15. Something in here smells weird.
→ *“Something”* = an unspecified thing — fits when you don’t know what’s causing the smell.

Indefinite pronouns refer to non-specific people, places, things, or amounts. They don’t point to a particular noun. Common examples:
- Singular: anyone, someone, no one, everyone, anything, something, nothing, everything
- Plural: many, few, several, others, some, none (can be singular or plural)
- Both: all, any, most, more, other, such
They help make sentences vague or general — useful when details aren’t known or important.
---
- Use someone/anyone for people (unspecified).
- Use something/anything for things.
- Use everyone/everything to include all.
- Use no one/nothing to indicate absence.
- Use many/some/few for quantities.
