Most indefinite pronouns usually define a quantity, such as ALL, SOME, FEW,
MANY, SOMEONE, EVERYONE, MOST, etc. The quantity determines whether they are
singular or plural. Did this help?

Anybody care to tell us what an indefinite pronoun is?

These aren't:)

"How to Write for Translation
Restrict the use of indefinite pronouns such as it, this, and those,
especially at the beginning of sentences. "
