You’ve probably already tried to work out the differences between someone vs anyone, and that’s a good place to start. We’re here to help you truly learn what the differences are and when you should use them. We’ll also show you the positive ideas behind “someone” and the negative ideas behind “anyone.”

What Is The Difference Between “Someone” And “Anyone”?

Someone should be used when you’re asking for or wanting an unspecified person. This person usually comes with a few select qualities related to the situation. Anyone should be used when you’re asking for or wanting an unspecified person but do not care which person you end up getting. In both cases, you can use them as part of a question or as a sentence.

The Positive Meaning Of “Someone”

We’ll start by looking a little closer at “someone.” There is a positive meaning that’s closely associated with the use of “someone,” and most people will use it in this sense. When using “someone,” we’re asking for somebody unspecific that we don’t know (or do in some cases) to come out for us. These people will often be closely related to the task at hand, whether they’ve got specific qualifications to help out or something else.

When we say the positive meaning in this subtitle, we use “someone” in positive sentences or questions. We’re asking for help from somebody. Though the person is unknown in the context, the idea is that we really need their help and would appreciate them doing it. Let’s see what we mean.

  • I need someone to help me out here.

This is a positive sentence, where somebody is in trouble and asks anyone to help them out with whatever has gone wrong.

  • Could you find someone to give me a hand?

This is a positive question where someone is specifically asking for help. Typically, they’d be helped by the person with the most experience. However, the person they’re expecting to help them is unspecified, which usually means that anybody could come along to help them.

The Negative Meaning Of “Anyone”

Now we get to the negative meaning of “anyone.” It means much the same thing as “someone,” but when we use it, we’re referring to any specific person. The idea is that we truly don’t care who comes to help us out. This lack of care gives “anyone” the negative connotations that we’re about to share with you.

  • Can anyone help?

This is a negative question that’s asking if someone can help. However, using “anyone” in this scenario shows that the speaker doesn’t care who comes out. In fact, they’re usually insulting the person they’re asking the question to, implying they can’t already help them out.

  • I don’t want anyone. I want someone good.

This is another negative sentence where someone is saying they don’t want just any random person. They’re implying that the person they’re speaking to needs to find someone else to help, and it’s always used negatively.

Of course, in some scenarios, we can still use “anyone” in a positive light, though it’s not nearly as common in this sense. If we use the word “if” before “anyone,” we can typically write some positive sentences out of “anyone,” though the overall tone of the sentence is still seen as a negative one.

  • If anyone could help me out, that would be great.

See here how this is a positive sentence. Somebody is indeed asking for help and don’t mind which person comes to help them. However, using anyone in this way shows the negativity coming through. It almost seems sarcastic or careless when someone speaks in this manner, so you should be careful using it this way.

Examples Of How To Use “Someone” In A Sentence

Now that we’ve seen a few examples of sentence structures with positive and negative connotations, it’s time to look at some examples more closely. Examples are some of the best ways to learn new language rules and structures to help you get a grasp of the English language. We’ll show you a few sentences, and you can see how “someone” is used first of all.

  • I’d like to find someone who fits the criteria.
  • They’re looking for someone to help them out.
  • Can someone find me a suitable donor?
  • I need someone to order my food for me.
  • Could someone offer their seat for me?

Examples Of How To Use “Anyone” In A Sentence

We’ll also look at “anyone” in some examples. In these cases, you’ll see a slight hint of the negative meanings for each case. If you say them out loud, you’ll often be able to hear the underlying mocking tone that most people use when saying “anyone.” Of course, you shouldn’t use “anyone” in this regard if you’re talking to somebody you like, as it can be insulting.

  • Is anyone out there?
  • Is anyone going to help me with this?
  • They are looking for just about anyone to work there.
  • We’d like anyone who knows what they’re doing.
  • If anyone keeps talking, I’ll give you all detention.

Does Someone/Somebody And Anyone/Anybody Have The Same Meaning?

What about “somebody” and “anybody?” When we use these words, do they mean the same thing? Well, yes. In fact, they are completely identical to “someone” and “anyone.” “Somebody” means that you’re looking for an unspecified person, though typically has the required criteria or qualities you’re looking for. It is used only in positive senses, just like we talked about above with “someone.”

“Anybody” is the same word as “anyone.” We use it when referring to an unspecified person, though we don’t care who comes when we ask for them. It’s mostly used in a negative sense and is synonymous entirely with the word “anyone.” You can easily replace both words with these counterparts and get the same meaning.

There isn’t a rule you need to follow in choosing which one either. “If anyone can help” is the same grammatically as “if anybody can help.” Don’t worry about getting them confused. Just work with whichever word you find sounds and looks best for you.

What is the difference between anyone and any one?

The words “any one and “anyone” may look similar, but they do not mean the same thing. The main difference is that “anyone” is an indefinite pronoun while “any one” is not really a word at all–– it’s a two-worded phrase. 

More specifically, the pronoun “anyone” (one word) can reference one person or a group of people, while the phrase “any one” (two words) references any single person, place, or thing. 

The origins of confusion: anyone vs. any one

According to Garner’s Modern English Usage (GMEU), there was a time when “anyone” was written as two words: “any one.” But as with many English phrases, the unification of “any one” is complete, and the single-worded version is now a part of standard English (Garner 58). 

The union of “any” and “one” is thought to have taken place in 1844 (Modern English), although Old English ænigmon also meant ‘anyone’ or ‘someone.’ Additional forms included: 

  • Old English (c. 450–1150 CE) = ǽnig + mon (any one, any man)
  • Middle English (c. 1150–1450 CE) = anī ōn (any single one, anyone)

What does anyone mean?

According to the New Oxford English Dictionary, the word anyone is an indefinite pronoun that references “any person or people” or “a person of importance or authority” (“Anyone” 71). For example, 

  • Anyone who’s anyone has visited New York.” 
  • “They say anyone can eventually live on Mars.”
  • “Do you know anyone who bought stock in GameStop?”
  • “Can anyone explain the stock market to me?”

The pronoun “anyone” is the most similar to “anybody” (another indefinite pronoun) because they serve the same function: to describe any person at all. For example, 

  • “Is there anybody on the International Space Station?” 
  • “I can’t see anybody on the moon.” 

Synonyms of anyone

All, anybody, everybody, everyone, somebody, someone. 

Antonyms of anyone

Nobody, none, no one.

What does any one mean?

Any one” is not a recognized word in the English language. In fact, standard dictionaries don’t provide definitions of “any one,” except to differentiate it from its single word counterpart. However, we can use “any one” as an adjective phrase to indiscriminately reference a person, place, thing from a larger group. 

Sentence examples: 

  • “She didn’t enjoy any one your ESL classes.” 
  • “We can study any one of these suffixes.” 
  • Any one of you can become a linguist.” 
  • “I would love to study at any one of those universities.” 

Usage note

In case you haven’t noticed, we often pair any one” with the preposition “of” to address specific pronouns and determiners. For example, 

  • Any one of them can work at the office.”
  • Any one of you can be granted access to the building.”
  • Any one of us might find open office hours helpful.”  
  • Any one of these offices may be open.”

How to use anyone vs. any one in a sentence?

Many writers confuse terms like “anyone” and “any one” because they don’t understand indefinite pronouns or how “any one” functions as an adjective phrase. To settle the confusion once and for all, let’s review these simple grammar topics. 

What are indefinite pronouns?

In general, indefinite pronouns are words that can describe any person, place, or thing (although they can specify non-specific actions in certain circumstances). 

When indefinite pronouns contain quantifying or distributing terms like “any,” “every,” “some,” or “no,” there are specific contexts when one word is more appropriate than the other. 

Indefinite pronouns with “every” reference all quantities of people, places, or things:

  • Everyone = every person in existence or of a group. 
  • Everybody = all people as a group. 
  • Everywhere = every location imaginable. 
  • Everything = every person, place, or thing imaginable (as a whole).  

Indefinite pronouns with “some” reference partial quantities of people, places, or things:

  • Someone/somebody = a non-general person that may or may not exist. 
  • Somewhere = a non-specific place. 
  • Something = a general and non-specific person, place, or thing. 

Indefinite pronouns with “any” imply no selective preference to a person, place, or thing in a group: 

  • Anyone/anybody = a non-specific person or group of people. 
  • Anywhere = a non-specific location. 
  • Anything = a non-specific person, place, thing, or action. 

Indefinite pronouns with “none” or “no” (negative quantifiers) reference zero quantities of people, places, or things:

  • No one = zero specific individuals. 
  • Nobody = zero individuals or groups of people. 
  • Nowhere = zero locations. 
  • Nothing = zero persons, places, or things. 

Indefinite pronouns for individuals or people

As we can see, indefinite pronouns reference non-specific objects, but we can use their determiners to address specific types of nouns. When we need to address people, we only use the following indefinite pronouns: 

  • Someone/somebody
  • Anyone/anybody
  • No one/nobody

Example sentences: 

  • “Can someone help me find a dictionary?
  • “We need somebody to teach.” 
  • “Does anyone study the English language?” 
  • Anybody can learn English grammar.” 
  • No one attended class.” 
  • “There’s nobody at the school.” 

There are exceptions to the rules, such as when we use “something,” “anything,” or “nothing” to include all “things” imaginable. Likewise, the word “thing” is appropriate when there is uncertainty over a noun’s humanity. For example, 

  • “Is something wrong?”
  • “There’s something outside.” 
  • “I didn’t see anything outside.” 
  • “It must have been nothing.” 

What are adjective phrases?

Adjective phrases are what they sound like: two or more words that describe something else. In the case of “any one,” we have the determiner “any” paired with the number “one” to select a single individual noun from multiple options indiscriminately. 

Examples sentences: 

  • “I don’t want to see any one of your friends again.”
  • “We will gladly take any one of those desserts.” 
  • “She doesn’t want any one of us in the room.” 
  • “The rascal could have been any one of my children.” 

The Word Counter has covered similar adjective phrases, such as “every one,” “some day,” “a lot,” or “a while.” These particular phrases parallel “any one” because they reference certain people, dates, quantities, and times in a nonspecific manner. 

When to use anyone vs. any one in a sentence?

Anyone” does not explicitly reference any single member of a group, and it is often used when the subject in question is general and open-ended. For example, if someone said “they can choose anyone they want,” that means “they” can select any or all of the people available.

In contrast, the sentence “they can choose any one they want” means that someone can choose any person, place, or thing available. Therefore:

  • Use “anyone” to vaguely reference people.
  • Use “any one” to specifically reference any single person, place, or thing. 

Example sentences: 

  • Anyone attending the meeting will expect snacks.”
  • “Does anyone want to bring snacks?”
  • Anyone who can bring snacks, raise your hands.”
  • “Doesn’t any one of you want to bring snacks?” 
  • Any one of you could volunteer to bring the snacks.”
  • “Is anyone willing to bring snacks?” 
  • “You can share snacks with anyone you like!”

When to use anyone vs. anybody?

According to Garner’s Modern English Usage, the pronouns “anyone” and “anybody” are completely interchangeable, although “anyone” appears far more often than “anybody.” The preference toward “anyone” is likely due to context and “euphony,” as “anyone” rolls off the tongue a bit easier than its four-syllable counterpart (Garner 58). 

Sentence examples: 

  • “Can anyone hear me?”
  • “Can anybody hear me?”
  • “I will travel with anyone.”
  • “I will travel with anybody.” 
  • “Is there anyone here from the United States?”
  • “Is there anybody here from the United States?”
