The Kitten Skrevet 19. mai 2012 #41 Del Skrevet 19. mai 2012 Somebody refers to a particular person, whilst anybody is more open. Have a look at the words some and any, and I think you will understand what I mean. It's crystal clear now. Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…

Have a look at the words some and any, and I think you will understand what I mean. But somebody does not have refer to a particular person. Used as a pronoun it can refer to an unspecified person. "Somebody has to do it", does not refer to a particular person. Or have I misunderstood the meaning of your use of "particular" now? Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…

You're correct when you say that somebody doesn't have to refer to a particular person. However I think it's still more specific than anybody.

However I think it's still more specific than anybody. Yes, I think so too (By the way, words like however is usually enclosed by commas in English, if I remember correctly ) Endret 19. mai 2012 av Wolfmoon Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…
Gjest PinkLeaf Skrevet 19. mai 2012 #46 Del Skrevet 19. mai 2012 The question of some or any is especially important when entertaining guests. It's considered way more hospitable and inviting to ask whether they would like "something to drink", rather than "anything". In that context, "anything" is almost more a phrase than a proper question. Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…
HedvigR Skrevet 19. mai 2012 #47 Del Skrevet 19. mai 2012 So what are your plans for the weekend then? I'll mostly stay inside to work on my exam... Think I'll go out soon to buy some sweets, going to need some motivation Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…

Think I'll go out soon to buy some sweets, going to need some motivation I was supposed to cook dinner with some friends, but the hostess isn't feeling to well. I might work on my history exam, cause I've got nothing better to do. As for tomorrow, I don't know yet. Endret 19. mai 2012 av The Kitten Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…
Gjest PinkLeaf Skrevet 19. mai 2012 #49 Del Skrevet 19. mai 2012 My plan is to do absolutely nothing tonight. I'm just going to hit the couch hard and stay there until bedtime. I've had a really stressful couple of weeks, so any free time is highly appreciated. I'm hoping my boyfriend will take care of dinner and chores - if only just for today. :-) Good luck on your exams and papers, fingers crossed for you. :-) Luckily, my last exam was on the 10th, so things will hopefully calm down soon. Maybe I can stop having postcolonial literature terms spinning around in my head eventually. (I digress: It feels so weird and confusing to write in Norwegian when posting smileys, when the rest of my post is in English. ) Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…

Well, except if you're in the States. I practice things and talk about a practice. I love American English.

Did you know that when you dream and think in a language, it's a sign that you're becoming fluent in it? Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…
