INDEFINITES
A Introduction
Look at these examples.
Everyone enjoyed the show. It was a great success.
The police searched the house but found nothing.
Let's find somewhere to eat.
Nobody came into the shop all afternoon.
With every, some and no, we can form words ending in one, body, thing and where.
everyone!everybody = all the people everything = all the things everywhere = (in) all the placessomeone/somebody = a person something = a thing somewhere — (in) a place
no one/nobody = no person nothing = no things nowhere = (in) no places

Words ending in thing can also mean actions or ideas.
Something awful has happened. You must tell me everything.

B Someone and anyone, etc
We can also form words with any: anyone, anybody, anything, anywhere.

Positive: There's someone in the phone box.
Negative: I looked round the shops, but I didn't buy anything.
Question: Has anyone seen today's newspaper?
Offer/Request: Could you do something for me, please?
C Singular and plural
We use a singular verb after everyone, something, anything, etc.

Everywhere was very crowded. No one knows how to start the motor.
After words with one or body, we normally use they/them/their, even though the verb is singular.
Everyone is having their lunch. Nobody wants to have their coffee yet.

GET/BE USED TO PRACTICE

The Uses of "Used to"

To be used to: Is for expressing habit or things with which you are comfortable or to which you are accustomed. In this sense it is used like an adjective.
formula:Subject + + used to + gerund+ object.
example: I am used to reading before going to sleep.
To get used to: Is for expressing a point in the process of becoming accustomed to something.
formula:Subject+have(has)+gotten used to + gerund + object.
example: I have gotten used to walking to work.
This example uses the present perfect tense to indicate an action which began in the past and has continued to the present (in this case suggesting a process of becoming comfortable or of setting a habit).
formula: Subject + will + (never) + get used to + object.
example: Peter will (never) get used to his new shoes.
This example uses the future to indicate a process that will be complete (or will never be complete) in the future.
Used to: Is for expressing actions that were habitual in the past and implies that the action no longer takes place. In this sense it is used as a modal auxiliary.
formula: Subject + used to + verb (infinitive) + object.
example: I used to eat seafood, but now I prefer meat.
These formulas represent only a few possibilities.
