ok quite arguing.
ok i understand could you clue me in a little more
what do you mean?
i think its B
it is :)
hes still a little comfused probly
Yes its B
you said that it not referring to a person if i understood that correct
yes. so some examples of indefinite pronouns are: somebody, nobody/no one, anybody, etc
it is not referring to any person in particular. so it could mean anyone whether it is a she/he/it.....do you understand what I am saying?
i understand but i got a little confuse with pronouns a little bit cus is it not part of a noun
okay :)
we know what a noun is right so isn't pronouns and nouns the same but with extra meaning to it
pronouns are just he/she/it etc i believe, but i am not positive. but when it is indefinite, it means that it can refer to just about anything, not just the noun or stuff similar to that. I'm sorry if this is a little confusing, but I am starting to get confused myself....:/
that's fine
case solved thanks for helping me @haleyelizabeth2017
