There are two categories of indefinite pronouns.

The first category includes

pronouns that refer to a nonspecific noun. These pronouns are:
anybody
anything
everyone
nobody
no one
somebody
something

anyone
everybody
everything
none
nothing
someone

Example:
Anything is possible if you believe.
The second category of indefinite pronouns are those that point to a specific
noun whose meaning is easily understood only because it was previously
mentioned or because the words that follow the indefinite pronoun make it
clear. These pronouns are:
all
any
each
few
neither
some

another
both
either
many
one
several

Examples:
Many are planning to attend the party. (In this case the identity of the group that is going
to the party would have already been mentioned.)
Would you like to try some of these cookies? (The word cookies makes it clear what
some is referring to.)
Not to confuse you but keep in mind the pronouns in this group can function as
adjectives if nouns directly follow them.
More Examples:
Many classmates are planning to attend the party.

I checked out some books from the library.

Singular and Plural Indefinite Pronouns
As mentioned previously indefinite pronouns may be singular or plural and the verb has
to match in number. Below is the list of singular indefinite pronouns.
Another
Anyone
Each
Everybody
Everything
Nobody
Nothing
Somebody
Someone

Anybody
Anything
Either
Everyone
Neither
No one
One
Something

Examples:
There are three groups of participants, and each has its own requirements.
Someone special is about to arrive.
The following are plural indefinite pronouns:
Both
Many

Few
Several

Examples:
Few of the projects were good enough to go to the science fair.
Several of the documents were filled with errors.
Some indefinite pronouns may be singular or plural. It all depends on the noun it
stands for. These pronouns include all, any, either, none, some, more, most. The rule
states that when these pronouns are followed by a prepositional phrase, the pronoun
must agree in number with the object of the preposition. The verb in the sentence must
agree in number with the antecedent. Sound confusing? Here are two examples:
Most of the work is finished.
Most of the books are out of date.

In this case work requires a singular verb and books requires a plural verb.

Examples of Indefinite Pronouns

To sum it all up, use indefinite pronouns when the noun substitute doesnt have to be
definite in meaning. Remember that they can be singular or plural in the corresponding
