Is some a pronoun?

Some is an indefinite pronoun or a determiner.

As an indefinite pronoun, “some” can be a subject or object that represents an undetermined or general noun in a sentence (e.g., “Some of my friends have already seen the Beetlejuice sequel”).

“Some” is usually an indefinite pronoun when it’s followed by a verb, adjective, prepositional phrase, or adjective clause.

When “some” is a determiner, it’s followed by a noun that it modifies (e.g., “Some people watch scary movies on Halloween”).
