25 mars 2010 · "I recommend nobody have a check card, as they are easily duplicated" Much much rarer (as is the English subjunctive in the first place), and a bit forced even in my example, but certainly possible.

24 avr. 2006 · "To be a somebody" means that the person is important, has made something of their lives. On the other hand "to be a nobody" means that the person is unimportant. In these cases you cannot use the alternative words. Also, somebody and nobody can be pluralized to somebodies and nobodies. These are rarer but grammatically correct. For example you ...

5 mai 2013 · In my native language it is common to express your opinion (if you are not sure) by a question. Probably, in English it is not common because you are not first one who was confused by it. Next time, I will use your expression. In spoken English, one can make a statement, but use an upward intonation to make it into a "quasi" question.
31 oct. 2009 · They are already widely used both in speech and in writing. They are not entirely new. It has been pointed out many times that sentences like "Nobody raised their hand" appeared in the 18th century novels of Jane Austen. Unless you wish to say that each persons raised both hands, 'hand' should be singular. "Nobody raised their hand."
25 mars 2006 · Nobody, like other indefinite pronouns, is frequently, though not without a tinge of guilt, followed by the plural pronouns they, them or their. For example, nobody wants to hear that their hero isn't a hero. This kind of construction, which is recorded in the OED from the C16th onward, seems likely to pass into unquestioned use in the C21st.
11 juil. 2011 · Under that rule, "Nobody but I" is correct. I think it would be rare to hear someone say "Nobody but I will help you" in actual everyday conversation. In a classroom, on a test or in a paper to be submitted at school I would write "Nobody but I". ("No one" is a little more formal than "nobody", so I think it would be more consistent to write ...
10 avr. 2018 · I would like to reword this sentence, I'm not sure which would be correct 1. Nothing was said by anyone. 2. Nothing was said by nobody. Maybe neither is correct, I came up with these by myself. Could you tell me if they are correct?

8 août 2013 · Aug 8, 2013. #1. Hi everyone.. Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be so hard. These are from a song called "the scientist" that written by Coldplay. I'm wondering why they use past tense. Nobody doesn't refer to anyone,maybe they just made it up. In my understanding,I guess report speech has been used in them.
