Activities: “Indefinite pronouns: What are they and how to use them in English?”
Activity 1: Answer the questions
Let’s practice using indefinite pronouns by answering some fun questions! Each question below uses an indefinite pronoun. Try answering the question using your knowledge of indefinite pronouns!
The first question has been done for you as an example.
Hint: Try using the same indefinite pronoun in your answer to practice using them (this isn’t possible for all answers, but try it out!).
ex: What is a food that everyone should try at least once?
I think everyone should try sushi!
What’s one thing that everybody in your family likes to do together?
How much does everything you are wearing right now cost?
Have you ever helped anybody do something difficult?
If you could meet anyone in the world, who would you like to meet?
If you could have an unlimited amount of anything in your home, what would you choose?
What is one thing you do when nobody is around?
What is one food that no one in your family likes?
What do you do when there is nothing interesting on TV?
When was the last time somebody complimented you?
Who is someone that you admire?
What is something that you always carry with you?
Activity 2: Describe the pictures
For each of the pictures below, write a sentence using one of the indefinite pronouns in the chart. Feel free to be creative about how you use the indefinite pronoun with the picture – there are no wrong answers.
For example:
Both are enjoying the movie.
Neither of them are wearing green.
Possible indefinite pronouns to use:
anybody | anyone | anything | everybody | everyone | everything | nobody |
no one | nothing | somebody | someone | something | another | each |
either | enough | less | little | much | neither | one |
both | few | fewer | many | others | several | all |
any | more | most | none | some |
Now let’s give it a try! Remember that these pictures are open to interpretation, so these are only some possible answers.
