As the word suggests (indefinite = unspecified, unknown, indeterminate, undefined) Indefinite Adjectives give general information about the noun they refer to.
Some common indefinite adjectives are:
- All
- Any
- Each
- Every
- Few
- Many
- Some
Though indefinite pronouns and indefinite adjectives look the same they are used differently in a sentence.
Whilst an indefinite pronoun replaces a noun, an indefinite adjective is placed in front of a noun or pronoun to modify it.
