How this list was compiled: Written by hand for this page: sentences built on the indefinite pronouns, to choose the verb that agrees, to pick out the pronoun, and to say whether it takes a singular or a plural verb. The singular and plural groups follow the table in Wikipedia's article Indefinite pronoun, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indefinite_pronoun, read 2026-09-30. All, some, most, any and none, which take either verb, and either and neither, where usage is disputed, are kept out of the choose-the-verb sentences. No person, brand or character is named.

Choose the verb

Set opens on Choose the verb (81 sentences): Everyone ___ ready takes is, and Both of my brothers ___ tall takes are. Words in between do not change the answer: in One of my shoes ___ missing, the subject is one, so the verb is is.

Find the pronoun, and singular or plural

Find the pronoun (38 sentences) asks which of three words is the indefinite pronoun. Singular or plural (21) names a pronoun and asks which verb it takes. All, some, most, any and none can take either verb, so they are never in the verb set.

  • Cover the words between the pronoun and the blank: Each (of the kittens) has white paws.
