hi, i would like to know the difference between 'everyone' and 'everybody'. for eg.
1) everybody loves me & everyone loves me
2) everybody hates me & everyone hates me.
3) everybody was like, blahblahblah & everyone was like, blahblahblah

also,
4) could you please do me a favour & can you please do me a favour.

i still get confused! Sad [:(]

#s 1-3-- the two words are synonymous; I perceive everyone as a bit more formal than everybody.

#4-- As requests, these are also synonymous, with the could form more formal/polite than the can form.

I'm not sure what you mean, Anon. Do you mean examples like "good, better, best"?

Because this seems like homework, you need to do the work first, and then ask us for help if there are any you don't understand.
