Each every either neither any none, what are they and how do they behave with to be,to do,to have and
other verbs.

Response generated by bard ai

Each, every, either, neither, any, and none are all **indefinite pronouns**, meaning they refer to
unspecified things or people. Here's how they behave with different verbs:

**With "to be" verbs:**

* **Each, every, either, and neither:** These always take a **singular verb**, even if they refer to
plural nouns. This is because they emphasize the individual unit within the group.

* Example: "Each book **is** on the shelf." (Even though there are many books)

* Example: "Neither team **is** ready." (Both teams are referred to individually)

* **Any and none:** These can take **singular or plural verbs** depending on the context.

* Example: "**Is** any of the food left?" (Singular verb when focusing on individual portions)

* Example: "**Are** any of the students finished?" (Plural verb when referring to the group)

* Example: "**None of** the apples **are** ripe." (Singular verb when treated as a single unit)

* Example: "**None of** the guests **have arrived** yet." (Plural verb when referring to multiple
guests)
**With "to have" verbs:**

* **Each, every, either, and neither:** Similar to "to be" verbs, these take a **singular verb**.

* Example: "Each child **has** their own backpack."

* Example: "Neither of them **has** the answer."

* **Any and none:** Same as "to be" verbs, they can be **singular or plural**.

**With "to do" verbs and other verbs:**

* **The verb agrees with the noun or pronoun that follows it.** This could be singular or plural
depending on the context.

* Example: "Every student **does** their homework." (Singular verb with "student")

* Example: "Neither child **wants** to eat vegetables." (Plural verb with "children")

* Example: "Any of the teachers **can help** you." (Singular verb with "teacher" when considering
each teacher individually)

* Example: "Many people **enjoy** reading." (Plural verb with "people")

**Remember:**

* **Each and every** are often interchangeable, but "each" emphasizes individuality more strongly.

* **Either and neither** are used for choices between two things.

* **Any and none** can be used in positive or negative sentences.

**Key takeaway:** When using these indefinite pronouns, pay close attention to the context and ensure
the verb agrees with the intended meaning, focusing on singularity or plurality depending on what you
want to convey.

Here's an overview of these indefinite pronouns and how they behave with different verbs:

Each, every, either, neither, any, none are indefinite pronouns that refer to an unspecified object or
person.

Each and every refer to individual items/people in a group.

Either and neither refer to one or the other of two people/things.

Any and none refer to no specific item or person.

With "to be" verbs:

- Each, every, either, neither takes a singular verb:

"Each student is responsible for their own books."

- Any and none can take a singular or plural verb:

"Any of the books are available."

"None of the books is available."

With "to have" verbs:

- Each, every, either, neither takes a singular verb:

 "Each student has their own books."

- Any and none can take a singular or plural verb:

"Any of the students have books."

"None of the students has books."

With "to do" verbs or other verbs:

- The verb agrees with the noun/pronoun following it:

"Each student does their homework."

"Neither boy wants to do his chores."

So in summary, each/every/either/neither always takes singular verbs, while any/none can be singular
or plural based on context. The key is ensuring subject-verb agreement.

4. **Other Verbs:**

- The behavior with other verbs follows similar patterns, where the choice of the verb depends on the

It's important to note that there can be some flexibility and variations in usage based on context and
personal style preferences.

Prompt to Claude ai

Everybody everything nobody nothing somebody something anybody anything what are they and how
do they behave with to be, to do, to have and other verbs.

Response by Claude

Here is an overview of these indefinite pronouns and how they behave with different verbs:

Everybody, nobody, somebody, anybody refer to people.

Everything, nothing, something, anything refer to things.

They are indefinite pronouns that do not specify a particular person/thing.

With "to be" verbs:

- All of these pronouns take a singular verb:

"Everybody is here."

"Nobody is home."

"Everything is ready."

"Nothing is wrong."

With "to have" verbs:

- They take a singular verb:

"Everybody has their ticket."

"Nothing has changed."

With "to do" verbs or other verbs:

- The verb agrees with the pronoun:

"Everybody does their part."

"Nothing matters anymore."

"Somebody make a decision."

So in summary, these indefinite pronouns are always grammatically singular, even though their meaning
may imply plurality. They will take singular verbs for "to be", "to have", and "to do". The key is ensuring
subject-verb agreement by treating them as singular.

Is it correct to say,

Nobody" & "nothing", "somebody" & "something", & "anybody" & "anything" can be singular or plural
depending on the context.
Yes, your statement is mostly correct - "nobody", "nothing", "somebody", "something", and "anybody",
"anything" can be singular or plural based on the context.

More specifically:

- "Nobody" and "nothing" are always grammatically singular, even if they semantically refer to multiple
people/things.

- "Somebody" and "something" are singular in standard usage.

- "Anybody" and "anything" are the ones that can be truly singular or plural based on context:

"Anybody could have done this." (singular)

"There aren't any books left, so anybody can take theirs." (plural)

So "nobody" and "nothing" will always be treated as singular subjects/objects grammatically. But
"anybody" and "anything" have flexibility to match semantic plural meaning if the context calls for it.

"Somebody" and "something" lean singular, but could potentially be plural in informal speech.

Your general point is right - indefinite pronouns may take singular or plural forms depending on meaning
and context. But strictly grammatically, "nobody" and "nothing" will remain singular.

Let me know if this helps explain the nuance! You had the right overall idea.
Technically, the sentence "Somebody have left their belongings here" is not grammatically correct. Here
is why:

- "Somebody" is an indefinite pronoun that refers to a person in a nonspecific way.

- Even though it semantically implies a person, grammatically "somebody" is always singular.

- The verb "have" is plural, but it should agree with the singular subject "somebody".

- The correct sentence would be:

"Somebody has left their belongings here."

- Using the singular verb "has" agrees with the singular indefinite pronoun "somebody".

- "Their" is then used as a gender-neutral singular possessive pronoun, avoiding "his/her".

So in short, the sentence should read:

"Somebody has left their belongings here."

This maintains proper subject-verb agreement between the singular "somebody" and singular verb
"has".

The original sentence uses a plural verb with a grammatically singular subject, which is incorrect. I hope
this helps explain why "Somebody have..." is not grammatically valid, and how to fix it! Let me know if
you have any other questions.
