Indefinite pronouns

-Indefinite pronouns are those pronouns that typically refer to no particular person or thing.

-Equally, they are characterized by having functions directly involved in expressing quantity, from totality (“all”) to its converse (“nothing”).

-Reference in some cases invokes gender, such that items in –body are personal, items in –thing nonpersonal.

-Quantification in some cases invokes countability and number, such that each is singular count, both dual count, while some may be noncount or plural count.

THE UNIVERSAL ITEMS

These function only as pronouns and despite their entailment of plural meaning they take singular verbs:

Everyone, Everybody, Everything, No one, Nobody, Nothing, noting that all except “no one” are written as single words.

EXAMPLES:

-The room was full of youngsters and everyone/everybody was listening to the speeches. (La habitación estaba llena de jóvenes y todo el mundo estaba escuchando los discursos).

I appealed to the whole crowd, but no one/nobody was willing to get up and speak. (Yo le pedí a todo el público, pero nadie estaba dispuesto a pararse y hablar)

-My mother was very particular about how her things were arranged in her bedroom; she knew where everything was supposed to be and she insisted that nothing was ever to be misplaced. (Mi mamá era muy exigente en como sus cosas estaban arregladas en su habitación, ella sabía donde debía estar todo e insistía en que nada fuera colocado en el lugar equivocado)

Two further indefinites are each and none, both able to operate irrespective of gender with singular reference.

EXAMPLES:-Many members hesitated but although each was pressed to act, none was in the end willing. (Muchos miembros dudaron pero aunque cada uno fue presionado para actuar, ninguno estuvo dispuesto al final).

-There were several knives in the drawer, but although each was tried in turn, none was Sharp enough to cut the rope. (Habían varios cuchillos en el cajón, pero aunque cada uno fue probado sucesivamente, ninguno estaba suficientemente filoso para cortar la cuerda).

-Each (but no none) can also function as a determiner, in which role it is closely paralleled by every. EXAMPLE: Each Candidate will be individually interviewed

Every

(Cada candidato será entrevistado individualmente). -Where they differ is that each is more targeted on the individual among the totality, every on the totality itself.

By contrast with each, none is not restricted to singular reference, though plurals like the following are objectionable to some users:  EXAMPLE:

- Hundreds were examined but none were acceptable. (Cientos fueron examinados pero ninguno fue admisible)

-With the determiner no which corresponds to none, however, plural is as universally used as the singular.EXAMPLES:

-No photography is permitted during the ceremony (Las fotografías no están permitidas durante la ceremonia).

-There were no passengers on the train (No habían pasajeros en el tren).

With all and both, we make plural and dual universal reference.EXAMPLES:

-The factory produces luxury cars and all are for export. (La fábrica produce carros lujosos y todos son para exportar).

-Police interviewed the (two) suspects and both were arrested. (La policía entrevistó a los dos sospechosos y los dos fueron arrestados).

-These two items also have a predeterminer function.EXAMPLES:

-All these cars are for export. (Todos estos carros son para exportar)

-Both (the) suspects were arrested. (Ambos sospechosos fueron arrestados)

-The converse of all is no; that of both is neither, usually with singular verb concord.EXAMPLE:

-Police interviewed the (two) suspects but neither was arrested. (La policía entrevistó a los dos sospechosos pero ninguno fue arrestado).

-It has a parallel determiner function.EXAMPLE:

-Neither suspect was arrested (Ningún sospechoso fue arrestado)
