THE STORY OF EVERYONE, SOMEONE, ANYONE AND NO-ONE

There was an important job to be done and Everyone was sure that Someone would do it.

Anyone  could have done it, but No-one did it.

Someone got angry about that because he thought that it was Everyone’s job.

Everyone thought that Anyone could do it, but No-one realised that Everyone wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everyone was angry with Someone because No-one did what Anyone could have done!

This is a different way to explain and understand indefinite pronouns. Here you will find some grammar notes if you prefer a traditional explanation.

Keeping me safe

Scary and horrible

Hurting quickly your hearth

Like claws in your arms

If only pain doesn't exist
