Follow the guidelines below when forming compounds from the words *any, every, no* and *some*. Note that these compounds take a singular verb, whether they are written as solid compounds (i.e. one-word compounds) or as two separate words.

## Compounds formed with *body, thing* and *where*

The words *any, every, no* and *some* form solid compounds when combined with *body, thing* and *where:*

- anybody, everybody, nobody, somebody
- anything, everything, nothing, something
- anywhere, everywhere, nowhere, somewhere

## Compounds formed with *one*

Write *someone* as a solid compound:

- Someone must tell the police.

Write *no one* as two separate, unhyphenated words in all situations.

- No one came.
- No one of us knew the combination.

Write *anyone* and *everyone* as solid compounds when they could be replaced by *anybody* and *everybody*:
