Download this sheet and write the answers for each question. Or, if you're unable to work on it on your phone or laptop, just write the answers on a piece of paper. The group should complete each number collectively and discuss (and understand) the answers before moving on to the next number. There is no need to rush! Make sure to write the name of all of your group members on the worksheet or sheet of paper. If you answered the questions digitally, you may email the answers at rob.franks@gmail.com. I only need one answer sheet from each group.

Words like 'something', 'everywhere', 'anybody' and 'no-one' are indefinite pronouns. We use them for people, things and places.

People: somebody* / anybody* / nobody* / everybody*
Things: something / anything / nothing / everything
Places: somewhere / anywhere / nowhere / everywhere

*We can use anybody or anyone - the meaning is the same. It's also true for someone, no-one and everyone.

These are singular words, so we use a singular verb with them.

Does anybody want cake?

Everybody loves the new puppy.

However, we can use 'they / them / their'.

Anybody who wants cake should pass their plate.

Nobody brought their bag.

We can use these words on their own for a short answer.

A: What do you want to eat? B: Nothing!

We can use them at the beginning of a sentence as the subject or as the object of a sentence.

Nothing was done.

She did nothing.

Some- and any- We have already talked about how to use some and any.(See here if you need to review.)

We use someone / somebody / something / somewhere in the same way as some and we use anyone / anybody / anything / anywhere in the same way as any.

We use somebody / something / somewhere mainly in positive sentences. We use anybody / anything / anywhere in the same way, but for questions and negative sentences. We also use anybody / anything / anywhere with sentences that have a negative feeling. We can use somebody / something / somewhere in questions when they are offers or requests or when we think the answer is yes.

Are you looking for something? (= I think you're looking for something.)

Would you like something to eat?

We often use anybody / anything / anywhere after 'if'. We also use anybody / anything / anywhere with the meaning 'it doesn't matter who / which / where'. No- Nobody = not anybody. Nothing = not anything. Nowhere = not anywhere. Usually the sentence with 'no' is stronger and more emphatic.

We don't usually use a negative verb with nobody / nothing / nowhere. Sometimes you hear this but it's not standard English.
NOT: I don't know nobody.
Every- Everybody = all the people. Everything = all the things. Everywhere = all the places. These can be used in positive sentences, negative sentences and questions. Try an exercise about the indefinite pronouns here.
