INDEFINITE PRONOUNS

1. Indefinite pronouns with every, some, and any can be used to form negative questions. These questions can usually be answered with a "yes" or a "no"

1.1. EXAMPLES: Is there anything to eat? Did you go anywhere last night? Is everyone here?

2. In affirmative sentences, indefinite pronouns using some are used to describe an indefinite quantity, the indefinite pronouns with every are used to describe a complete quantity, and the pronouns with no are used to describe an absence.

3. EXAMPLES: I don't have anything to eat. She didn't go anywhere last week. I can't find anyone to come with me.

4. Negative sentences can only be formed with the indefinite pronouns that include any.

5. Indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific person, place, or thing. In English, there is a particular group of indefinite pronouns formed with a quantifier or distributive preceeded by any, some, every and no.
