These are words such as some, any, something, and anything in English.<\/p>\n<p>As with English, the Spanish indefinite pronoun or adjective you use depends on whether the sentence is negative, positive or a question. In English we say \u201csome trees\u201d, for example, when we have a positive affirmation that there are some trees, \u201cno trees\u201d for a negative statement that there aren\u2019t any trees and \u201cany trees\u201d for a question about whether there are any trees. In Spanish you will also have to remember various combinations of indefinite pronoun and adjective and we also have a masculine and feminine version and a singular and plural version.<\/p>\n<p>Please repeat each after me and then practice as much as you can after the lesson by writing example sentences in Spanish using all of the different combinations:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Alg\u00fan\/a: Some\/Any (in positive sentences and questions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Alguno\/alguna: Some\/Any (in positive sentence and questions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Algunos\/algunas: Some\/Any (in positive sentence and questions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Ning\u00fan\/ninguna: Any\/No (in negative sentences)<br \/>\n\u2022 Ning\u00fano\/ninguna: Any\/None (in negative sentences)<br \/>\n\u2022 Algo: Something\/Anything (in positive sentence and questions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Nada: Nothing\/Anything (in negative sentences)<br \/>\n\u2022 Alguien: Someone\/Anyone (in positive sentence and questions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Nadie: No one\/Anyone (in negative sentences)<br \/>\n\u2022 Algo de: Some\/Any (part of something) (in positive sentence and questions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Nada de: None\/Any (part of something) (in negative sentences)<br \/>\n\u2022 Nunca: Never<\/p>\n<p>Let\u00b4s see now some examples of Spanish indefinite pronouns and adjectives in use:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Alg\u00fan: \u00bfConoces a alg\u00fan m\u00e9dico?: Do you know a doctor?<br \/>\n\u2022 Alg\u00fan: S\u00ed, conozco a alg\u00fan m\u00e9dico. Yes, I know a doctor<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Alguno: S\u00ed, conozco alguno: Yes, I know some<br \/>\n\u2022 Algunos: S\u00ed, conozco a algunos m\u00e9dicos: Yes, I know some doctors<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ning\u00fan: No, no conozco a ning\u00fan m\u00e9dico: No, I don\u00b4t know a doctor<br \/>\n\u2022 Ninguno: No, no conozco a ninguno: No, I don\u00b4t know any<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Algo: \u00bfQuieres algo?: Do you want anything?<br \/>\n\u2022 Nada: No quiero nada: I don\u00b4t want anything<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Alguien: \u00bfConoces a alguien en esta ciudad?: Do you know anybody in this city?<br \/>\n\u2022 Nadie: No conozco a nadie: I don\u00b4t know anybody<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Algo de: \u00bfSabes algo de ingl\u00e9s?: Do you know any English?<br \/>\n\u2022 Nada de: No s\u00e9 nada de ingl\u00e9s: I don\u00b4t know any English<\/p>\n<p>We will see now how to make negative sentences in Spanish using indefinite pronouns. You will need to use a \u201cno\u201d before the verb when the indefinite pronoun follows the verb, but you don\u00b4t use a \u201cno\u201d if it precedes the verb. Let\u00b4s see some examples:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 No viene nadie a mi casa: Nobody comes to my house<br \/>\n\u2022 Nadie viene a mi casa: Nobody comes to my house<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 No dices nada correcto: You don\u00b4t say anything correct<br \/>\n\u2022 Nada de lo que dices es correcto: Nothing of what you say is correct<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 No est\u00e1 nunca en casa: He is never at home<br \/>\n\u2022 Nunca est\u00e1 en casa: He is never at home<\/p>\n<p>The key to remembering and using Spanish indefinite pronouns and adjectives well is to practice with them a lot. Work first on trying to remember off-by-heart all of the different Spanish equivalents for words such as Some, Any, None, Anything, etc, and then try to remember all of the different combinations so that you know exactly when to use one or the other.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have all of the words more or less clear in your head you can start using them in your conversation and writing. This is, of course, the fun part. This is when you put all your hard work into practice and really start to understand how the words work. Once you have used them a few times you will find them so much easier to remember. Also, don\u2019t forget to listen and look out for them when you listen to native speakers or read texts.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with all of this and enjoy your Spanish!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hola \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1is?
