Indefinite Pronouns Worksheets

All About These 15 Worksheets

Indefinite pronouns can feel slippery at first because they don’t point to a specific person, place, or thing. Words like someone, anyone, everything, and nobody are useful in everyday speech, but students need practice to use them correctly in writing. This collection of worksheets helps learners recognize, identify, and apply indefinite pronouns in a variety of contexts. From scavenger hunts to sentence-building, kids get hands-on practice that makes these grammar tools much clearer.

The worksheets are designed to move from recognition to creation. Early activities focus on finding and underlining indefinite pronouns or swapping them for nouns in sentences. Later worksheets encourage students to build their own sentences, describe scenes, or even start sentences with indefinite pronouns. There’s also practice with tricky grammar rules like subject-verb agreement (everyone is vs. many are), which helps learners build accuracy.

What makes these worksheets especially engaging is the mix of drills and creativity. Kids not only complete fill-ins and matching tasks but also continue short passages, write with prompts, and explore indefinite pronouns in storytelling. By the end, they’ll feel comfortable using these pronouns naturally, which makes their writing smoother and more polished.

What Are Indefinite Pronouns?

In English grammar, an indefinite pronoun is used when a noun (i.e., person, place or thing) or the amount of a noun is unknown. The following sentences use indefinite pronouns:

1. Can anyone hear me?

The pronoun anyone can refer to a parent, sibling, teacher, etc.

2. Nothing makes Annie happy.

The pronoun nothing can refer to numerous items that aren’t improving Annie’s mood.

3. Both are yummy choices for dinner.

The pronoun both can mean a variety of food options.

4. Mark picked several to show the team.

The pronoun several can mean a number of unspecified things in this sentence.

Singular Indefinite Pronoun

If an indefinite pronoun ends with -one or -body, it is singular as it is meant to address a single person within a group. This rule is valid for the pronouns everyone and everybody as well. That is because in both cases, each person is being considered, despite being referred to collectively. Singular indefinite pronouns are given below with examples.

another	anybody	anyone
anything	each	each one
either	everybody	everyone
everything	little	much
neither	nobody	no one
nothing	somebody	someone
something	one	other

Sentence Examples

In each of the following sentences, the singular indefinite pronoun can be replaced with a singular noun and still be correct.

• Does anybody know where the ladder is?
• Anyone can join the school play.
• Someone had knocked over mom’s expensive vase.
• Hand over another one.
• Carrie tried each one before placing an order.
• I am not a fan of either.

Plural Indefinite Pronoun

A plural indefinite pronoun is used in place of a plural pronoun or a plural noun. These pronouns are given in the table below.

all	any	more
none	some	such
most
