C 代词和所有格形容词与someone,somebody,anyone,anybody,no one,nobody,everyone,everybody连用
所有这些词语都具有单数的含义,因此要用单数动词。因此,指代这些词的人称代词和所有格形容词按道理说也应是he/she,him/her,his/her,但在口语中复数形式更为普遍:
Has anyone left their luggage on the train?
有谁把行李丢在火车上了吗?

没有人看见汤姆出去,对吗?
但在指something,anything,nothing时仍然用it:
Something went wrong,didn’t it?
有什么地方出毛病了,是吗?
