Somebody or anybody, something or anything – infographic

Display or print the following infographic and ask the students to read through it. Then elicit what they learnt. If you feel that they did not get the message, explain the grammar using either their MT or your own words.

Mention please, that the word BODY, could be replace with ONE and the meaning will be the same. Emphasize the spelling of NO ONE (two words instead of one).

Somebody or anybody, something or anything – games

To practise the usage of the words somebody, anybody, something, anything, everything, everybody, nothing and nobody your students can play the following game. Its name is En Garde. Your task is to choose the correct answer and then stop the target as close to the centre as possible. Hopefully, you will be faster and more accurate then your opponent. The game is in Flash and will play only on desktops:

  1. Hello, You’ve done a great work on your website. How can I have this infographic about somebody, anybody etc.? I’ve saved the image, but isn’t so good.

  2. What do you mean? Do you mean that the image quality is not good enough? I could send you the image with more details.

  3. Yes, you’re right, I meant this. If it’s not too much to ask, I would appreciate it if you could send the image to my email.

  4. It was a great info but It is focusing on accuracy what I’m wondering is to how make my students to use them inductively through the engagement?
