Abstract
This article delves into the classification and usage of indefinite pronouns in English. Indefinite pronouns are essential in expressing generality, specificity, and absence within various linguistic contexts. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the types of indefinite pronouns, their syntactic roles, and semantic implications. Moreover, practical examples are presented to illustrate their applications in communication. This research serves as a guide for linguists, educators, and language learners aiming to deepen their understanding of English grammar.
