Something-Anything. Nothing INDEFINITE PRONOUNS

SOMEBODY-SOMEONE SOMEBODY Somebody (or someone) has broken the window Somebody/someone= a person but we don't know who.

SOMETHING= He's studying something (English, Maths. . . ) SOMETHING=a thing but we don't know what

SOMEWHERE= “Let's go somewhere this weekend” Somewhere=in a place but we don't know where.

SOME. . . Use: Somebody/Someone, Somewhere, something+ a verb when you don't say who, what or where. Examples: “Somebody has broken the window” “He's studying something” “let's go somewhere”

ANY. . . USE: Anybody/Anyone, Anything, Anywhere in ? Or with a verb. Examples: “I didn't know anyone at that party” “where's Sam? Has anybody seen him? “I didn't buy anything in the shopping centre”

ANY. . . USE: Anybody/Anyone, Anyth ing, Anywhere in + sentences meaning: cualquiera, cualquier cosa, en cualquier lugar Examples: “I never have problems sleeping on buses or planes.

Typical mistakes 1. Using nobody/nothing/nowhere with a negative verb. You can't use a double negative in English. Eg: I didn't see nobody (WRONG). I didn't see anybody (RIGHT) 2. Using anybody/anything/anywhere in one word answers to convey a negative meaning. Eg: who did you see? Anybody (WRONG) Who did you see? Nobody (RIGHT)

NEVER If “NEVER” is in the sentence, the sentence is negative and we use anything/ anybody/anywhere to convey the meaning of “nada, nadie, en ningún lugar) I never say anything in English. In this class. I'm too shy. (Nunca digo nada en inglés en esta clase. Soy demasiado tímido) I never read anything in English apart from my coursebook (Nunca leo nada en inglés aparte de mi libro de texto)
