What is an accompanying word for both?

Both of you, all of us, or both of us?

Both is also an indefinite pronoun (except as an accompanying word) and is written in lower case in all its inflected forms!

That's what it says on one page, but I don't understand the difference… Can someone please give me some examples of when it is an indefinite pronoun and when "both" is used as an accompanying word?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Hello!

“Beide” can be used both as indefinite pronouns and as an accompanying word. The difference lies in the way it is used in the sentence:

As an indefinite pronoun:

“Beide” is used as pronouns to point to two people or things without determining them. In this case, “both” stands for an indefinite number of elements that each belong in a specific category.

As an accompanying word:

In this case, “both” accompanies a nom and indicates that it is two things or persons that are specified in more detail.

Greetings!
