Someone or somebody

You use someone or somebody to refer to a person without saying who you mean.

There was an accident and somebody got hurt.

There is no difference in meaning between someone and somebody, but somebody is more common in spoken English, and someone is more common in written English.

! Be Careful! You don't usually use `someone' or `somebody' as part of the object of a negative sentence. Don't say, for example, `I don't know someone who lives in York'. You say `I don't know anyone who lives in York'.

There wasn't anyone there.

There wasn't much room for anybody else.
