Pronouns replace nouns and make them more specific. Indefinite pronouns flip the switch again and make a pronoun form a nonspecific function. Indefinite pronouns take the place of a group or a collective. Words such as "all", "part", and "none" work on a group. When writing we may be hesitant to use these parts of speech, but they definitely have their place. When used properly they can add a bit of mystery to your story and, in some cases, and an element of drama. These worksheets can help students really understand the proper use of these forms of pronouns.
