"SANAM" Pronouns

by abhishek.gupta Thu Mar 14, 2013 7:55 am

Hi,

I understand that SANAM pronuns can take singular or plural verb depending on the context.

I have also gone through some of the examples across various GMAt Manhattan guides.
Can you please reply to this query with an example for each of these SANAM pronouns used in singular and plural contexts.
I guess that that would be 10 examples in total.
I would really appreciate your coperation.

regards,
Abhishek

Here's 10 simple examples. Note the difference in these examples is based on the countable/non-countable nature of people/money.

Some money is going to be won.
Any money that is found is going to the winner.
None of the money is going to be won.
All of the money is going to be won.
Most of the money is going to be won.

Some people are going to win.
Any people who play are going to win.
None of the players are going to win.
All people are going to win.
Most people are going to win.

You can also take a countable thing and make it singular to change the meaning of the sentence for some of the SANAM pronouns:

Some dog is going to win best prize. (only one)
Some dogs are going to win best prize. (more than one)
