When using sommige as a pronoun, it's pretty straightforward. It basically means 'some' or 'a few' when you're talking about a group of things or people that have already been mentioned or are clear from the context. You don't need to add a noun after it, as the noun is implied.
For instance, if you're talking about books, you could say "Ik heb veel boeken, maar sommige zijn oud" (I have many books, but some are old). Here, 'sommige' stands in for 'sommige boeken'. It's a handy way to avoid repetition and keep your sentences concise.
