A pronoun takes the place of a noun. An indefinite pronoun tells us that we aren’t sure what the actual noun is. We use these four indefinite pronouns when we aren’t sure of the actual person’s name.
Hello, is anybody here?
It looks like everybody is gone.
I hope somebody can help me.
I’m afraid there is nobody around.
An indefinite pronoun takes the place of a person’s name and is used when we don’t know exactly who we are talking about. Always use a singular verb with an indefinite pronoun.
