What are indefinite and relative pronouns?

Answer 1

Indefinite pronouns are used in place of nouns for people, things, or amounts that are unknown or unnamed.

They are: all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, enough, everybody, everyone, everything, few, fewer, less, little, many, more, most, much, neither, nobody, no one, nothing, none, one, other, others, several, some, somebody, someone, something, such, and they (people in general).

Example: You may have some. There is more in the kitchen.

Relative pronouns are used to introduce a relative clause; a relative pronoun "relates" to the word that it modifies, providing additional information about the antecedent without starting another sentence.

They are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

Example: The teacher who assigned the work should answer your questions.

Answer 2

Indefinite pronouns refer to nonspecific people or things, such as "someone" or "anything." Relative pronouns introduce dependent clauses and connect them to an independent clause, such as "who" or "which."
