The Spanish indefinite pronouns
Some of the most important Spanish indefinite pronouns
Alguien
Alguien (somebody/anybody) is used in sentences to refer to a person.
He visto alguien en tu casa hoy.
(I’ve seen someone in your house today.)
Algo
Algo“something/anything” is the equivalent pronoun used to refer to a thing.
Tengo algo para tu hermana (I have something for your sister.)
Nadie
The negative form of alguien is nadie (no one) .
The negative form of algo is nada “nothing”.
In Spanish you will have to use double negatives, unlike English:
No he visto a nadie en tu casa. (I haven’t seen anyone in your house.)
No tengo nada para ti (I have nothing for you).
Alguno/a
Alguno/a (some, any) shortens to algún before a masculine, singular noun, and varies in gender and number according to the noun it refers to alguno, alguna, algunos, algunas:
¿Hay algún bar en la ciudad? (Is there any bar in the city?)
Ninguno/a
Ninguno/a (none, no) shortens to ningún before a masculine, singular noun.
NO hay ningún bar en la ciudad. (There isn’t any bar in the city.)
Mucho/a
Mucho/a also varies in gender and number according to the noun it refers to.
Hay muchos bares en la ciudad.
(There are many bars in the city.)
Poco/a
Poco/a also varies in gender and number according to the noun it refers to.
