EXPLORE

Let us read these rules together.

Now what are indefinite pronouns that the chart is referring to. Do you remember what these are?

Let's read the chart below.

If you notice, they have categorized the pronouns under three headings. Singular, Plural and Both singular & Plural. It is actually showing you which ones are used with singular verbs, which are used with plural verbs and which can be used with either singular or plural verbs. The latter depends on the phrase that follows. I want you to listen to the video clip below, so as to learn more about indefinite pronouns, and instances when they are used with singular and plural verbs.
