- meaning - What is the difference between anyone and everyone in . . .
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 Original example “Everyone is welcome to do such and such” means all are welcome “Anyone is welcome to do such and such” means all or any part is welcome
- Anyone: (they or he she) why is it sometimes plural?
Anyone can learn to dance if he or she wants to Resources online tell me that anyone is a singular indefinite pronoun 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?
- syntactic analysis - How to know when to use someone or anyone . . .
Use "anyone" when all elements of a group are involved, but you don't necessarily mean all of them 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
- grammaticality - Anyone of v s Anybody from - English Language . . .

- Use have or has any anyone anything in the question?
But anyone is syntactically singular, so Has anyone seen it? is natural, not *have anyone seen it? (Anyone is not necessarily singular in meaning, so the answer might refer to one person or several) (I have left out of you because *anyone of you is not idiomatic Any one of you is idiomatic, but that means specifically just one of you )
- Anyone has or anyone have seen them? [closed]
So I thought I'm sure about this and my instincts say that: "If anyone has seen them " would be right but then again when I said it like: "If anyone have seen them " I started thinking which one would be the right one Can you please guide me through which is the right one and why? P S English is not my first language
