An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that does not refer to any specific person, thing, amount, or idea. Instead, it refers to non-specific or unknown entities in a general way. Indefinite pronouns are commonly used when the exact identity of the subject or object is unclear or when you want to make a general statement.
