What children learn in Level 32
- Indefinite pronouns don't name an exact person or thing: everyone, someone, nobody, nothing, both, many.
- Here's the tricky part. Everyone sounds like a lot of people, but it means each one, so it takes the verb for one: Everyone is here.
- Someone, nobody, anyone, and each work the same way: Nobody has the answer. Each of the kids has a snack.
- Both, many, several, and a few mean more than one: Both of the kids are ready. Many of the birds were singing.
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
