something, anything, nothing (A2 Grammar)

In a plain positive sentence, the some- words usually feel right: something, somebody / someone, somewhere.

something, somebody, somewhere

anything, anybody, anywhere

When the sentence is a no (don't, isn't) or a question, the some- word usually turns to an any- word: anything, anybody / anyone, anywhere.

nothing, nobody, nowhere

The no- words already mean not by themselves: nothing, nobody / no one, nowhere. So the verb stays positive with them. Do not add another not.

everything, everybody, everywhere

The every- words mean all of them: everything = all the things, everybody / everyone = all the people, everywhere = in all places / every place. Even though they mean many, the verb stays singular (like is / was / has).
