Definite and Indefinite Pronoun

Definite Pronoun is replaces a noun that’s identity has been clearly given.

There are two types of definite pronouns:

1) personal:  I, you, she, he, it, we, they, you, me, her, him, us, them  

Example: Would you like to study together after class?


2) demonstrative: this, that, these, those
Example: There 10 cherry trees outside the school gate.  Those are my favorite trees at our school.



Indefinite Pronoun is refers to something that is not definite or specific or exact.
The indefinite pronouns are : all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, someone, These indefinite pronouns can also be used as indefinite adjectives in some cases.

Note that many indefinite pronouns also function as other parts of speech. Look at "another" in the following sentences:

• He has one job in the day and another at night. (pronoun)
• I'd like another drink, please. (adjective)

Most indefinite pronouns are either singular or plural. However, some of them can be singular in one context and plural in another. The most common indefinite pronouns are listed below, with examples, as singular, plural or singular/plural.

Notice that a singular pronoun takes a singular verb AND that any personal pronoun should also agree(in number and gender). Look at these examples:

• Each of the players has a doctor.
• I met two girls. One has given me her phone number.
