• Something is an indefinite pronoun. We can use indefinite pronouns (someone,
everything, no one, anything, etc.) to talk about things and people in general.
• No one / Nobody can be used with positive verb forms.
• Anyone / Anybody can be used with positive or negative verb forms.

1 I would like to eat something / anything nice for lunch.
2 Everything / Everyone in my class studies very hard.
3 I don’t know no one / anyone at this party.
4 I have anything / nothing to do at the weekend.
