I see. As far as I understand I should also use anybody/anyone in the sentences like this: "There is not anybody/anyone waiting for me at the snack-bar". Thank you very much!

 

I Think it is much appropriate to use nobody/noone. "There is nobody/noone waiting for me at the snackbar."

Noone doesn't exist at all...

Hi YoHf,

It does exist but it is written as two words:  no one

No one is waiting for me at the snack bar.   ( By the way snack bar is written as two words ).

That's what I meant... You can have both no one and none but you won't find noone...

what are the differences between some body and some one?

some body / some one

Basically, those would not be written as two separate words.

For the difference between 'somebody' and 'someone', read the rest of this thread.  You'll find out that there basically isn't any difference. Wink

They are the same, except I was always told someone is more formal than somebody.
