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.
