Define inverted word order and indefinite pronoun
Inverted word order refers to the arrangement of words in a sentence when the usual subject-verb-object order is altered. This typically occurs in questions, commands, and certain expressions where the verb comes before the subject.
For example:
- Normal word order: She is reading a book.
- Inverted word order: Is she reading a book?
Indefinite pronouns, on the other hand, are pronouns that do not refer to a specific person, thing, or amount. They are used when we want to refer to something in a non-specific or general way.
Examples of indefinite pronouns include:
- Someone
- Anyone
- Everyone
- Nobody
- Nothing
- Everything
These pronouns can be used as subjects, objects, or determiners in a sentence. For instance:
- Someone is at the door. (subject)
- I didn't see anyone at the store. (object)
- Everything is ready for the party. (determiner)
