Anyone taken

The indefinite pronouns anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody are always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs. Everyone has done his or her homework. Somebody has left her purse. Some indefinite pronouns — such as all, some — are singular or plural depending on what they're referring to. (Is the thing referred to countable or not?) Be careful choosing a verb to accompany. The phrase Can anyone of you is often found on the Internet. If I paste another word instead of you into this phrase in the search box, I get results close to 0%. Can anyone of the native spe. I've learned that we use someone when in affirmative sentence and anyone when in negative or question sentence. Altough, I saw a lot of results in google for the sentence how can ANYONE. So. How to use anyone and everyone as they are typically used in English Everyone means all of the group. Anyone means all or any part of the group.

If any one is used by itself, it means the same as anyone, but it is preferred for it to be spelled without the space.

Then why is it sometimes acceptable to use the plural 'they' with 'anyone' in some cases? Does it substitute and replace 'he/she'? note: this previous posts also says anyone is [singular]: Anyone has or anyone have seen them? The problem is confusing the pronoun anyone (stressed on the first syllable) with the phrase any one (stressed on one), meaning 'choose one'. That's the sense that's grammatical in the first sentence, but it's not the same meaning as anybody, which is negative polarity like anyone (but not any one).

So anyone can do it would mean that everybody in that group could do it, even though it doesn't take them all to do it. I saw no one / I didn’t see anyone. We can’t use double negatives, but is there any difference between these sentences?.
