Indefinite pronouns
Indefinite pronouns are not specified to a specific person, place or thing. In
English, there is a particular group of undefined pronouns made up of a preceding
quantifier or distributive by any, some, all, and no.
PERSON
These pronouns are made up of two parts. The first is a quantitative adjective
or adverb like: every, some, any and no. The second is the ending that tells us if
we are talking about a person, a place or a thing.
We use pronouns ending in -body or -one to talk about one or more people
SOMEBODY : someone sounds more positive - it is used more when we think the answer is yes.
Example:
 Someone arrived when I was going out.
 Somebody tripped and everyone started laughing.
ANYBODY: can be used in questions
Example:
 May anyone help me, please?
 Is there anybody in the building?
EVERYBODY: As we have seen, everybody / everyone is "everyone", and nobody / no one is "nobody".
Example:
 Sarah’s really nice. Everybody loves her.
 Everybody who goes to Paris thinks it’s a really beautiful city.

NOBODY: it is used more when we think that the negative answer

Example:
 It was sad. Nobody came to my birthday party.
 Nobody wants to date him. He’s a jerk, and he’s ugly.
  THING
Pronouns ending in -thing refer to an object
 SOMETHING: Means a thing that is unknown. It is often used in
positive sentences.
Example:
 Something was wrong with the car.
 Do you have something to eat?
 I want to tell you something.
ANYTHING: Use it in questions and negative sentences
Example:
 I can't find anything in this mess.
 Did you say anything?
 Did they find anything interesting?
 Have I done anything wrong?
 EVERYTHING: Use in affirmative, negative and interrogative
sentences when we want to be inclusive.
Example:
 Everything was ready for the wedding.
 It is impossible to know everything.
 I heard everything they said.
NOTHING: Used as subjects of a sentence or question.
Example:
 He thinks that nothing is impossible.
 I can do nothing about your problem.
 The explanation was clear, but they understood nothing.
 
 WHERE
We use pronouns ending in -where to refer to places
 SOMEWHERE: Somewhere "is" somewhere "
Example:
 He lost his wallet somewhere.
 She went out somewhere.
 She went somewhere with him yesterday.
 Her keys are somewhere in this room.
ANYWHERE: As an adverb, it means going to or being in any place, when
it does not matter where.
 Example: He didn't lose his wallet anywhere.
 She didn't go out anywhere.
 She didn't go anywhere with him yesterday.
 Her keys aren't anywhere in this room.
EVERYWHERE: is used to talk about being in or going to all
places, rather than no place or some place
Example:
 In my room there are portraits of her everywhere.
 This day will be the first always and everywhere.
 There's magic everywhere if you're willing to see it.
 My brother and I have been looking for you everywhere.
NOWHERE: Refers to something
Example:
 We've been in the middle of nowhere for two days.
 Sure, but not out here in the middle of nowhere.
 New York is wonderful, but there is nowhere like Paris.
