Indefinite pronoun

Indefinite pronouns are special words we use when we're talking about someone or something in a general way, without being specific. These words replace nouns (like names or objects) and make our sentences simpler and easier to understand.

For example, instead of saying "Mary bought a cake and gave it to her friend," we could say "Someone bought a cake and gave it to someone else." In this case, "someone" and "someone else" are indefinite pronouns because we don't know who specifically did what.

Some common indefinite pronouns you might hear are "anyone," "everyone," "nobody," "somebody," "something," and "anything." These words don't refer to any specific person or thing, but rather to a general idea.

So, next time you hear someone using words like "something" or "anyone" instead of specific names or objects, you know they are using indefinite pronouns to make their sentences simpler!
