Indefinite pronouns

somebody	someone	something
anybody	anyone	anything
nobody	no one	nothing
everybody	everyone	everything

Indefinite pronouns are used to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what they are. 

• Pronouns ending in -body or -one for people,
•  and pronouns ending in -thing for things:

Everybody enjoyed the show.
I opened the door but there was no one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could see everything.

Use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:

Everybody loves Tom.
Everything was ready for the trip.

When we refer back to an indefinite pronoun we normally use a plural pronoun:

Everybody enjoyed the concert. They stood up and clapped.
I will tell somebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long time.

You can add -'s to an indefinite pronoun to make a possessive.

They were staying in somebody’s flat.
Is this anybody’s skirt?

Indefinite pronouns with no- as the subject in negative clauses (not pronouns with any.)

Anybody didn’t get the job >> Nobody got the job.

Do not use another negative in a clause with nobody, no one or nothing:

Nobody enjoyed the film.
Nothing happened.

Use else after indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things in addition to the ones we already mentioned.

All the family came, but no one else.
If Michael can’t come we’ll ask somebody else.
So that's eggs, peas and chips. Do you want anything else?
