anybody
1.anybody不可写作any body。
2.anybody比anyone通俗，口语里多用anybody。
3.anybody属于单数形式。例如：Anybody who comes is welcome. 把anybody当作复数是英美人常有的错误。anybody既然属于单数形式，当然不可说If anybody come, ask them to wait。通常该把them改作him。在需要特别说明“兼指男女”的时候，该用him or her，但通常用him，用了him or her嫌呆笨。同样地，该说If anybody comes, he will be welcome和If anybody comes, ask him to leave his address。
4.anybody有两个恰巧相反的意思，一个是“重要的人”或“有地位的人”，一个是“不重要的人”或“没有地位的人”，很容易引起误解。可是看了全句总是明白的，第一个意思比较普通些，大都用在疑问句、否定句和表示条件的从句里。例如：
Is he anybody?
I don't think she was anybody in those days.
He knows everybody who is anybody.
If he is anybody, we ought to have heard of him.
He knows two or three anybodies作“他只认识两三个不重要的人”解。
5.anybody跟everybody不同，但I do not lend my typewriter to anybody可能有两个意思：“我不把我的打字机借给任何人。”或“我并不把我的打字机对于任何人都借出。”把anybody改作anyone也是这样。参见any 1
6.不可说Anybody cannot do it，该说Nobody can do it。参见any 3
7.Don't anybody talk to me!和Don't talk to me anybody!都是“任何人别和我谈话！”anybody可以说是呼唤语。
