Work in pair: work out the use of the pronouns.
The usage of one(s), someone, no one, anyone and everybody:
One and ones are used to replace a previously mentioned noun when we do not want to repeat that noun. One replaces a singular noun, and ones replaces a plural noun.
Ex: Of the three bags, I like the red one (red one = red bag)
Someone = somebody: Usually means “an unspecified or unknown person”. It is used in affirmative sentences and it is used with a singular verb
Ex: Someone called when you were out.
I heard the ring but I couldn’t answer the phone.
Someone wants to see you
c. Anyone = anybody. It is used with a singular verb in a negative statement or a question.
Ex: Did anyone see you ?
d. No one can be used with a singular affirmative verb to express a negative.
Ex: No one was at home.
No one came here yesterday.
e. Everyone = everybody. It usually goes with a singular verb. It is used to refer to every person or all people.
Ex: Have you asked everybody ?
Everyone is ready.(= All the people are ready)
Note:- These expressions have a singular meaning and take a singular verb, so personal pronouns and possessive adjectives should logically he/she. Him/her, his/her. However, in modern English plural forms are more common.
Ex: -Everyone has come in, haven’t they ?
-No one should leave their luggage on the bus.
- Somebody, someone, anybody, anyone are singular words, but we often use they/them/their after these words.
Ex: Someone has forgotten their umbrella. (= his or her umbrella)
