1.1.7.6 Indefinite Pronouns

There are quite a variety of indefinite pronouns. We address them in more detail in chapter 36.

(i) Imprecision

Indefinite pronouns may express the imprecision of something.

Ex,

Vous avez entendu quelque chose?

(ii) Quantity

Indefinite pronouns may also express quantities of things.

Ex,

Tous sont arrivés à l’heure.

Everybody arrived on time.
