Definition-

Indefinite pronouns are words that refer to people or things without specifying which ones. They include words like "everyone," "someone," "anything," and "nothing."

Points to remember-

Indefinite pronouns can be tricky to use correctly. Here are a few tips:

1. Make sure the pronoun agrees with the noun it refers to. 

For example, "everyone" should be used with a plural verb, and "something" should be used with a singular verb.

2. Be careful not to use too many indefinite pronouns in a sentence. This can make the sentence difficult to understand.

3. Use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things that are not specific. 

For example, you could say "I need something to eat" or "Can someone help me?"
