For example : 

Anybody, Anyone, Anything, Nobody, None, Nothing, Somebody, Someone, Something, Everybody, Everyone, Everything etc. 

Some of these Indefinite Pronouns are always used as singular, some as plural and some as both singular and plural.

Indefinite Pronouns used as Singular --

One, Everyone, Nobody, Somebody, Anybody, Each, Every etc.

Indefinite Pronouns used as Plural ---

Many, Several, Few, Both, Others etc.

Indefinite Pronouns used as Singular and Plural ---

Most, All, None, Any, Some etc.

NOTE : A verb is used in a sentence according to its Subject. So to find in an error in a sentence it is very important to identify  Subject in it. 

Sentences with Indefinite Pronouns used both as Singular and Plural.

(Hint : There is hint of error in this sentence itself. 

" Most of the machinery parts"

"is reported to have"......"are required to be". As subject is plural verb too should be plural ,It should be "are reported" like "are required to".)

 2. One of the players selected for tournaments are likely to be detained and may not be sent for  training because of his pre-engagement.

(Hint : In this  sentence for the singular  subject "One of the " singular verb "is" in place of "are" is required.)

3. Many of the decisions taken by the committee in the meeting yesterday was unanimous except one controversial one which was passed through voting.

5. This bill is not likely to be passed in the house as a majority are not in favour of its passing.

(Hint : In the latter part of the sentence"a majority " is subject and is singular. So a singular verb is required. It should be "a majority is".)

Usage of Indefinite Pronoun in sentences.

An Indefinite Pronoun is used in a sentence in place of a Noun as Subject or object. When a doer or a receiver or in other words a Subject or an Object is not certain, an Indefinite Pronoun is used. An indefinite Pronoun refers to persons or things in a general way. 

For example :

Anybody can do this work.

Everybody is ready to go there.

Someone has picked his pocket.

All were happy in the party.

Always do good to others.

 

In these sentences, the words Anybody, Everybody, Someone, All, and others are examples of Indefinite Pronoun. These are Pronouns but do not represent any definite person or thing.

Some points to be noted in case of Indefinite Pronouns :

 - One is used as singular and it is followed by one's and not his or her.

One should do one's duty.

- Each, Either and Neither when used as Pronoun are followed by singular verb. 

Each of them was happy there.

Neither of the two is fit for this job.

- either and neither are used for two things or persons.

- Any one refers to more than two persons or things.

Any one of the four friends is expected to take  part.

Neither of the two brothers is at fault.

You can have either of the two shirts.

- None is used both as singular and plural 

None but fools have faith in these things.

Have you any news for me? There was none for you.

Did you bring any fruit? There was none in the market.

- Each other is used for two persons or things but One another is used for more than two persons or things.

Both the sisters love each other.

They are quarrelling with one another.

Here are some sentences for Practice:

1. Someone is knocking at the door.

2. Either of the two brothers is at fault.

3. None of them has any information.

4. Some were very helpful.

5. Each of them is ready to accompany us.

In competition examinations there are questions with incorrect usage of Indefinite Pronouns in sentences. The error in sentences is required to be located and rectified.

Generally in examination questions these  mistakes relate to --

1. Indefinite Pronoun itself

2. Verb used with an Indefinite Pronoun.

3. Question tag in the sentence.

For example:

1. One should obey his parents.

2. Everyone student present there deposited his fee.

3. Everybody will attend the party, won't he? 

4. Everything was in order, weren't they?

(All these three sentences are incorrect.)

(Explanation:)

1. One is followed by one's.

One should obey one's parents.

2. Everyone is a Pronoun, Student a Noun.

 A Pronoun cannot describe a Noun. It should be either -

Every student present there deposited his fee. 

Every is adjective and student is a noun.

OR

Everyone present there deposited his fee.

Everyone is a Pronoun and Subject here.

3. For living things plural question tag is used.

 Everyone will attend the party, won't they? 

4. Everything was in order, wasn't it?

SENTENCES FOR PRACTICE

RECTIFY THE ERROR IF THERE IS ANY IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES.

1.  When the inspector entered the room, he found everybody  in his place and doing their job silently and peacefully.

2.Everybody who wants to live in this society with one's head high will certainly try that such things do not happen and nobody dares to level any charge against him.

3.The authorities are pressing all of you hard to accept their terms and conditions but  each one of you will have to take his own decision whether to accept those or not.

4. A majority of the plants grown on either sides of the road were  laden with flowers of different colours.

5. Neither of the two sisters nor her mother was willing to part with money but they had to take this decision for the sake of one of their family friend.

ANSWERS

1. There is a hint about answer in the sentence itself. 

"......everybody in his place ......."

So it should be....

"........doing his job......"

2. Everybody takes "his" with it so it should be "with his head high".

3. In this sentence subject is "You" , so its possessive should be "your" in stead of "his".

4. ".....on either side of the ....."

5. "........one of their family friends".

Usage of Adverb and Adjective in sentences.

In a sentence an Adjective is used to describe a Noun or a Pronoun  and an Adverb is used to describe mainly a Verb, an Adjective or an Adverb. 

There are certain words which are used both as an adjective as well as an adverb. A few of these are: 

Early, Enough, Fast, Little, Long, Loud, Late, Much, Only.

The status of a word whether a word is an adjective or an adverb depends on its place and position i.e. its usage in a sentence.

In one of its forms, an adjective is formed, when   ly  is added to a Noun and an adverb is formed when  ly is added to an adjective. But these two create confusion while using them in a sentence.

 For example :

Saint (Noun) + ly = Saintly (adjective)

King (Noun) + ly = Kingly (adjective)

Woman (Noun) + ly = Womanly (adjective)

High (adjective) + ly = Highly (adverb)

Quick(adjective) + ly = Quickly (adverb)

Strict (adjective) + ly = Strictly (adverb)

In competition examinations there are questions with incorrect usage of an adverb or an adjective in sentences. The error in sentences is required to be located and rectified.

For example :

The money-lender is a miser person. ........1

He turned out to be a coward person. .......2

In the sentence 1 the word miser describes the word person.

But both these words miser and person are nouns. A noun cannot describe a noun. It should be an adjective i.e. miserly.

 In the sentence 2 the word coward describes the word person.

But both these words coward and person are nouns. A noun cannot describe a noun. It should be an adjective i.e. cowardly.

One of the areas of confusion in selecting an adjective or an adverb is their usage with a Gerund,  a Present Participle or a Past Participle in a sentence. Both a Gerund and a Present Participle are basically a first form of verb in continuous form (i.e. first form of verb+ ing) but their usage in a sentence is different for either of them. A Gerund is used as a noun and a Present Participle is used as an adjective. To describe a Gerund i.e. a Noun, an Adjective is required whereas to describe a Present Participle i.e. an Adjective, an Adverb is required.

Further Present Participle and Past Participle both are used as adjective. In case of Present Participle work started in the past continues upto present. But in case of Past Participle work started in the past  is also completed in the past. As both are used as adjective, they require an adverb to describe them.

For example :

1. Brisk walking is good for health.

2. I saw him walking briskly.

3. He purchased a well furnished house.

In sentence no. 1, Walking is a Gerund and an adjective Brisk describes it.

In sentence no.2, walking is an adjective describing a pronoun him and an adverb briskly describes it.

In sentence no.3, house is a noun and past participle, an adjective furnished describes it. Further  an adverb well describes the adjective furnished.

SENTENCES FOR PRACTICE

1. So was the intensity of the blast that a car parked near the site was thrown into the air and landed hundred feet away from the site.

2.The board has decided to impose a severe penalty on all the players for their slowly playing in the penultimate match played during the last week.

3. Hurriedly accomplishing the project is reported to be one of the reasons for so many mistakes and lapses found in the final report of the project. 

4. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom just as sure as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me.

5. He is well versed with the rules of this place because he has been visiting here very frequent during the last few years.

6. The case provoked nationwide protests from different sections of the society who said that the police treated victims  of a particular community more favourable than those of others. 

 

(ANSWERS)

1. So and Such are always followed by that. So is an adverb whereas such is an adjective. In this sentence to describe, a noun, intensity, an adjective 'Such' is required in place of adverb 'So'. Such was the intensity of the......

2. Playing is a gerund and a noun so to describe it there should be an adjective slow instead of an adverb slowly.

3. Hurriedly is an adverb and accomplishing is a gerund, a noun. It should be 'Hurriedly accomplished  project'. Project, a noun, accomplished a participle, an adjective and hurriedly is an adverb describing adjective accomplished.

4. 'I am not truly free' is correct but ..'just as sure as I am not free' is incorrect. It should be surely.

5 Visiting is a verb and to describe it an adverb frequently instead of adjective frequent is required.

6. Treated is a verb and to describe it, favourable, an adjective is used. It should be an adverb favourably instead of favourable.

Usage of Adverb and Adjective in sentences.

An Adjective describes a Noun or a Pronoun whereas an Adverb describes mainly a Verb, an Adjective or an Adverb.

For example:

He is my close friend. ......1

He sat close to me. ...........2

In sentence 1, the word close is an adjective as it describes noun friend. But in sentence 2, the word close is an adverb as it describes verb sat. 

He is my very close friend. .........3

He sat very close to me................4

In sentence 3, the word very is an adverb as it describes adjective close. In sentence 4, the word very is also an adverb as it describes adverb close. 

In competition examinations questions are given with incorrect usage of an adverb or an adjective in sentences. The error in sentences is required to be located and rectified.

For example :

She is feeling good now.  ............1

His movements were so quickly that he was back in his original position in no time. ..........2

All of us witnessed briskly sliding of the fish into water. ........ 3

In the sentence 1 the word good describes verb feeling but it is an adjective and in its place an adverb is required. The correct word in its place is adverb well. 

She is feeling well now.

In the sentence 2 the word quickly is an adverb but to describe a noun movements, an adjective is required. It should be quick instead of quickly.

This sentence can be either

He moved so quickly that he was in his original position in no time.  OR

 His movements were so quick that he was back in his original position in no time.

In the sentence 3, sliding is not a verb but it being a gerund is a noun. To describe a noun, an adjective is required. Briskly is an adverb. It should be brisk instead of briskly. 

This sentence can be either

All of us witnessed the fish sliding briskly into water.

 OR

All of us witnessed brisk sliding of the fish into water.

A Question tag  is a short question at the end of the sentence and it is supported by an auxiliary verb. 

Between sentence and question tag there is a comma and at the end of the sentence there is a question mark.

In fact, a question tag is not a question but it is just a confirmation of the statement given in the sentence.

For example: 

He is an artist, isn't he?

She paints a painting, doesn't she?

Please note that a question tag is incontinuity of the sentence with a comma at the end of the sentence and it starts with a small letter.

There are certain rules governing these question tags. 

For example :

Subject in question tag must be according to the subject in the sentence.

The subject in a question tag is always a Pronoun. It can not be a Noun. 

There are generally two verbs auxiliary and main verbs used in a sentence. In a question tag auxiliary verb is used if  it is there  in the sentence but in case of a main verb only, do,did or does, according to the tense and number of subject, is used in a question tag.

The auxiliary verb in question tag must be in contracted form. 

Tense in the question tag must be according to the tense of the sentence.

If the statement is positive, the tag will be negative and if the statement is negative, the tag will be positive.

In case of 'I am' in the statement, 'aren't I' is used in the question tag.

I am a regular visitor, aren't I?

In case of the pronoun, everything as a subject in the sentence, singular pronoun 'it' is used in question tag but in case of the pronoun everybody, pronoun 'they' is used.

For example: 

Everything is in order, isn't it?

Everybody is happy, aren't they?

In case of negative words like rarely, hardly, seldom  or scarcely etc. in the statement, positive question tag is used.

We rarely go to the market, do we?

A few of these negative words are as follow :

No, Never, None, Neither, Nothing, Few, Hardly, Scarcely, Barely, Seldom etc.

Question Tag in Case of Indefinite Subject Pronouns :

i) Subject Pronoun Always As Singular :

There are certain Subject Pronouns which are always used as Singular. For example :

 Someone, Everyone, Anyone, Anything, Something Nobody, No one, Each, Every, Another, Either, Neither, Much, Little, Less etc.

If this word refers to 'people'  , 'they' is used in question tag. Auxiliary verb according to the subject is used.  For example :

Everyone is happy, aren't they?

Nobody feels bad, do they?

If this word refers to 'a thing'  , 'it' is used in question tag. Auxiliary verb according to the subject is used.  For example :

Something is missing, isn't it?

Everything went well, didn't it?

ii) Subject Pronoun Always As Plural :

There are certain Subject Pronouns which are always used as Plural. For example :

Both, Few, Many, Fewer, Several, Various etc.

In case of these words 'they' is used and auxiliary verb according to the subject is used in question tag. For example:

Both are fast friends, aren't they?

Few articles were left, weren't they?

iii) Subject Pronoun Both As Singular And Plural :

There are certain Subject Pronouns which are  used as both Singular and  Plural. For example :

All, Some, Most, Anymore etc.

If these words relate to a single thing or uncountable things, 'It' is used and accordingly auxiliary verb is used in the question tag.

For example :

All is well, isn't it?

This jug contains some water, doesn't it?

If these words relate to plural or countable things, 'they' is used and auxiliary verb according to it is used in the question tag.

For example :

All were drenched in the rain, weren't they?

Flowers are beautiful, aren't they?

Question Tag in case of 'This, These, That And Those'.

In case of these words, 'it' is used in case of singular things and 'they' is used in case of plural things. For example : 

This is my book, isn't it?

Those are your clothes, aren't they?

 Question Tag in case of 'Imperative words'.

In case of imperative words, 'will you' or 'would you' is used

in question tag. For example :

Stand up, will you?

Stop writing, won't you?

Question Tag in case of 'Let's'.

In case of 'Let's' 'shall we' is used. For example :

Let's go out for a walk, shall we? 

Question Tag in case of words like  ' I've, He's, They've, you've, I'd, He'd, you'd etc.'

Question tags in case of these words are formed according to sense and meaning of these words in the sentence as 'I'd' implies I did, I had and I would etc. He's implies He is , He has, He was etc. So question tags are used according the implied auxiliary verb used in the sentence.

Here follow some sentences to elucidate the point.

You'd like to accompany us, won't you?

I'd finished my work, hadn't I?

He's not done his work, has he?

She'd not learnt her lesson, had she?

In competition examination questions are given with incorrect questions tags. The error in question tag is required to be located and rectified.

For example :

Children are playing in the garden, don't they?

The question tag in this sentence is incorrect. 

It should be -

Children are playing in the garden, aren't they?
