PELIC Turkish male level 3 writing class.
The indefinite pronouns: ‘ANYONE’, ‘SOMEBODY’, ‘SOMEONE’, ‘EVERYBODY’ and ‘EVERYONE’ are all listed at A2 in the English Vocabulary Profile. As far as CEFR level allocation, it doesn’t make any difference which position they take in the sentence. The English Grammar Profile (EGP) does offer the following specifications though:
A2 point 23 in PRONOUNs is defined:
a limited range of indefinite pronouns (‘someone’, ‘everyone’) as subjects, with a singular verb
A2 point 33 in PRONOUNS is defined as:
an increasing range of indefinite pronouns as objects or complements of prepositions.
*Oddly, it seems ‘someone + adjective‘ is not listed with the other indefinite pronouns. Also, there is listing for ‘anybody’ in the EGP.
In the EGP examples we have:
