Anyone or someone

Hi! Can anybody help me, please?

How should we use someone/somebody and anyone/anybody in the sentences that are not questions, but imply hesitation.

For example,

I wonder if anyone can help me.

or

I wonder if someone can help me.


It's doubtfully if anyone will come.

Or

It's doubtfully if someone will come.


Thank you in advance!

I wonder if someone can help me.

Both are possible. Both are correct.

The second one seems to apply more readily when the speaker has a group of people in mind, one of whom may actually be able to help.

????? ?????It's doubtfully do
