Somebody/someone(interchangeable?)
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I am just wondering about the difference between somebody and someone, more specifically, it's between -body and -one. 02 br
02 br
00 As far as I know, they both are the indefinite pronouns and referring to people. 02 br
02 br
00 In the following example, I am just wondering if it is possible to replace "-body" with "-one"? 02 br
02 br
00 e.g. 02 br
00 Everyone in the village went to the party but nobody enjoyed it very much. 02 br
02 br
00 Mohammed Ali is somebody I have always admired. 02 br
02 br
00 I believe that there must be a difference otherwise they wouldn't be in different form. 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks in advance. 0-
