True False useS We use indefinite pronouns to refer to things, people…without saying exactly what, who… they are. We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun.

THEY are all in different school teams. When we use NOTHING / NO ONE or NOBODY as the subject of a sentence, we use an affirmative verb. However, the meaning of the sentence is negative.
