Someone, Anything, Nowhere

What are we learning today?

You will learn how to use words like someone, anything and everybody.

Explanation

• These words begin with some-, any-, no- or every-. They end with -body, -one, -thing or -where.
• Use "some-" in positive sentences: I live somewhere near the park.
• Use "any-" in questions and negative sentences: I can't see anything.
• Use "no-" with a positive verb: Nobody was at home.
• Never use two negative words together.
• The verb after "everyone" is singular: Everyone is here.

Examples

1. There's something for everyone.
2. I've never seen anything like it.
3. No one should miss this.

Remember!

• Do not say "I don't see nothing". Say "I don't see anything".
• Say "Everyone is", not "Everyone are".
