Местоимения somebody, someone являются синонимами, и, в большинстве случаев, они взаимозаменяемы. Оба переводятся одинаково: кто-то, кто-нибудь, кто-либо. Но при использовании в предложении, тем не менее, разница между someone и somebody имеется.
Чтобы понять, чем отличаются правила употребления этих двух местоимений, нужно рассмотреть и их сходства:
- somebody и someone являются местоимениями-существительными (noun-pronoun)
- в предложении выполняют функции подлежащего и дополнения
- употребляются в утвердительных предложениях, специальных и общих вопросах, в которых выражена просьба или какое-либо предложение
Somebody killed him. — Кто-то убил его.
Someone still loves you. — Кто-то до сих пор любит тебя.
Why didn’t you ask somebody to show you the way to the hospital? — Почему ты не попросил кого-нибудь показать тебе, как пройти к больнице?
Somebody и someone являются производными местоимениями и состоят из неопределенного местоимения some и существительных body и one соответственно. Именно эти существительные в составе названия местоимений и влияют на правила их употребления.
Местоимение somebody
В состав слова somebody входит слово body. Одним из главных его значений является слово «тело», оно может соответствовать неживому предмету, какому-то материальному, физическому телу. Например, может иметься в виду основная часть какого-либо механизма. Также существительное body относится и к живому существу, которым является и человек. Поэтому слово body может обозначать человека или основную часть человеческого организма — туловище.
Somebody переводится как «кто-либо», «кто-нибудь», по смыслу речь идет о «каком-то теле», то есть, о каком-то отдельном человеке из множества себе подобных. Кто этот человек — неважно, это взятое наугад лицо, о нем можно говорить так же, как и обо всех остальных людях в целом. Таким образом, этот человек не выделяется из толпы, поэтому somebody не разъединяет, а наоборот объединяет всех подобных в группу. При употреблении somebody в речи подразумевается вся толпа. Можно сравнить употребление этого местоимения с теорией случайных чисел: какое число выпадет, никому неизвестно. В некотором роде точно также ведет себя местоимение every (каждый).
Somebody is sure to find the lost papers. — Наверняка, кто-нибудь найдет потерянные документы (some people, one or more persons — «кто-нибудь» — это любой человек, все равно, какой именно, неизвестный ни говорящему, ни слушающему, один из толпы или даже несколько людей).
I am afraid somebody will know about it. — Боюсь, что кто-нибудь узнает об этом (some people, one or more persons — «кто-нибудь» — это любой человек из моего окружения, неизвестный ни говорящему, ни слушающему, один из толпы или несколько людей).
Ask somebody to show you the way to the post-office. — Попроси кого-нибудь показать тебе дорогу на почту (some people, one or more persons — «кто-нибудь» — имеется в виду любой человек, проходящий мимо, или несколько людей).
Местоимение someone
В состав слова someone входит слово one. Одним из его значений является слово «человек». Имеется в виду человек-одиночка, человек, который является индивидуальностью, а значит, выделяющийся из толпы и имеющий некоторые характерные черты. В этом основная смысловая разница между someone и somebody.
Someone переводится на русский как «кто-то», а по смыслу в речи someone подразумевает какого-то человека из множества себе подобных, который чем-то выделяется или «оставляет след». При употреблении в речи someone говорящий представляет себе одного человека, но неизвестного, неопределенного. По тем же правилам в речи используется местоимение each (каждый).
This is a letter from someone who lost the papers. — Это письмо от какого-то человека, который потерял документы (a person, one person — письмо от «кого-то» — от какого-то человека, но именно этот человек потерял документы и написал письмо, то есть, «оставил след», условно говоря).
Someone left a magazine here yesterday. — Кто-то оставил здесь вчера журнал (a person, one person — «кто-то», неизвестный ни говорящему, ни слушающему, но вполне конкретный человек, оставивший журнал).
Someone has asked you on the phone. — Кто-то попросил тебя к телефону (a person, one person — «кто-то» — неизвестный человек, но конкретное лицо, которое выразило данную просьбу).
Somebody и someone — разница в употреблении
- Someone употребляется, если человек находится в каком-то многолюдном месте и не знает, на кого указывает.
Someone left the room and started screaming loudly. — Кто-то вышел из комнаты и начал громко кричать (someone означает, что говорящий не знает, кто именно из всех находящихся в ней людей вышел из комнаты).
Если человек может быть знаком говорящему, употребляется somebody.
Somebody left the room and started screaming loudly. — Кто-то вышел из комнаты и начал громко кричать (somebody означает, что говорящий, возможно, знает, кто это, но он для него неизвестен именно в данной ситуации).
- Someone употребляется, если говорящий не знает человека и вокруг много людей. Somebody, напротив, употребляется, если вокруг небольшое количество людей.
- Someone более уместно в формальной речи, в то время как somebody звучит менее формально.

someone
– somebody
1. used in statements
You use someone or somebody to refer to a person without saying who you mean.
Carlos sent someone to see me.
There was an accident and somebody got hurt.
There is no difference in meaning between someone and somebody, but somebody is more common in spoken English, and someone is more common in written English.
Be Careful!
You don’t usually use ‘someone’ or ‘somebody’ as part of the object of a negative sentence. Don’t say, for example, ‘I don’t know someone who lives in York‘. You say ‘I don’t know anyone who lives in York’.
There wasn’t anyone there.
There wasn’t much room for anybody else.
2. used in questions
In questions, you can use someone, somebody, anyone, or anybody as part of the object. You use someone or somebody when you are expecting the answer ‘yes’. For example, if you think I met someone, you might ask me ‘Did you meet someone?’ If you do not know whether I met someone or not, you would ask ‘Did you meet anyone?’
Marit, did you have someone in your room last night?
Was there anyone you knew at the party?
Be Careful!
Don’t use ‘someone’ or ‘somebody’ with of in front of the plural form of a noun. Don’t say, for example, ‘Someone of my friends is an artist‘. You say ‘One of my friends is an artist’.
One of his classmates won a national poetry competition.
‘Where have you been?’ one of them asked.
3. ‘some people’
Someone and somebody do not have plural forms. If you want to refer to a group of people without saying who you mean, you say some people.
Some people tried to escape through a window.
This behaviour may be annoying to some people.

It’s a funny contradiction, but the noun someone can be used to mean «any unspecified person,» but also «a very important person.» So a child might say, «When I grow up, I want to be someone,» meaning that they want to be well-known or famous, or just really good at something. Someone and somebody are synonyms, so you can use them interchangeably, although someone is slightly more formal.

Someone, somebody, something are all singular. They take singular verbs.
HOWEVER, when we have a pronoun referring to someone or somebody and we don’t know if that person is male or female, we often (usually) use the pronoun they with a singular meaning. (Some people still object to this usage in formal language, but it is common in informal language.)
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dina, and I know who they are. (I don’t know if the person is male or female.)

A noun is what we call the word that names something or someone. A noun may be a person, a thing or a place. Nouns can play many roles within a sentence. A pronoun is a subcategory of nouns.
What is a noun?
Nouns make up a lot of the English language. There are also many different types.
These are all nouns:
My father
Your aunty
The Queen
Elvis Presley
The following places are also nouns:
My house
Mount Everest
The bathroom
Nouns can also be things. That includes imaginary items, concepts, activities, and other objects.
Tap
Football
Table
Freedom
Common Nouns
Generic (common) nouns can be put into three categories. These are collective nouns, abstract nouns and concrete nouns.
A collective noun is a collection or a group.
Examples of a collective noun:
A murder of crows.
A wild pack of dogs.
A concrete noun is something physical, or real.
Examples of concrete nouns:
I have a cup of coffee.
I heard some music.
An abstracts noun is something we cannot perceive.
The bravery he had shown.
They had a lot of compassion.
Nouns as subjects
All sentences have a subject. The subject is always a noun—a person, thing, or a place that is being or doing the verb.
Examples of nouns as subjects:
Edward felt excited.
Louise was happy.
Edward and Louise are the subjects in each of their sentences.
Plural nouns
A plural noun differs from a collection or group. A plural noun will require a -s or a -es to be added to the singular form. There are some exceptions.
Examples of plural nouns:
Singular: A dog
Plural: The dogs
Singular: A car
Plural: The cars.
Singular: A tax
Plural: The taxes
Possessive nouns
A possessive noun is a noun that possesses something. You will see a possessive noun as it has an apostrophe.
It was Joshua’s ball.
I went to Ella’s house for dinner.
When there is a plural noun that ends in s, the apostrophe is moved.
My nephews’ first suit was expensive.
Nouns as objects
A noun can be an object in a sentence.
Examples of a noun asana object:
Give the shoes to them.
Pass the books to her.
What is a pronoun?
A pronoun’s distinguishing feature is that within a sentence, you can replace it. A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repetition.
Robert decided to sleep. Robert has always enjoyed taking long naps.
Robert decided to sleep. He has always enjoyed taking long naps.
Robert decided to sleep. My brother has always enjoyed taking long naps.
In this case, the second Robert is replaced with ‘he’ and ‘my brother’. The change of pronoun stops the sentence from getting boring.
Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns are:
They, Them, We, You, Me, I, Her, She, He, and Him
Relative Pronouns
A relative pronoun connects relative clauses to independent clauses. They include:
What, who, which, whom, that
Example of using a relative pronoun:
The person who posted these cards forgot to leave a number.
My plant is very large, that new pot will fit perfectly.
Antecedents
A pronoun can be almost anything. It is a very versatile part of the English language. An antecedent is a noun or a noun phrase that is replaced later in a sentence.
Example of an antecedent:
My friends are the best; I love to be around them.
In this example, the antecedent is family and replaced later by them.
Henry is my dog; he is loud and loves to run.
In this example, the antecedent is Henry, and the pronoun replacement is he.
Indefinite pronouns
For some occasions, you will not need to name a person or an object. In this case, you can refer to them with an indefinite pronoun.
Examples of indefinite pronouns:
Other, anybody, no one, none, some, everybody, one
Example use of indefinite pronouns:
The traffic jam meant that everyone was late.
In this case, the indefinite pronoun used is everybody.
No one else knows I have mismatched socks on.
In this case, the indefinite pronoun used is no one.
Interrogative pronouns
An interrogative pronoun will be used in a question.
Examples of interrogative pronouns:
What, which, whose, and who
An example use of an interrogative pronoun:
What is your last name?
In this example, the interrogative pronoun is what.
Which colour is your favourite?
In this example, the interrogative pronoun is which.
Those are some of the examples, and example uses of nouns and pronouns that you will often see.
