Take your grammar to the next level!
Do we say “everybody is happy” or “everybody are happy”?
Even though “everybody” means multiple people, it takes a singular verb – everybody is happy. Everybody likes pizza. (Not “everybody like pizza”).
It’s the same for somebody, anybody, and nobody:
- Somebody is stealing money from the store.
- Does anybody want coffee? (Not “Do anybody”)
- Nobody was ready for the test. (Not “Nobody were”)
It’s the same for everyone, someone, anyone, and no one; there’s no difference.
Thanks for watching and I’ll talk to you tomorrow!
