答案

在英语上,我们把somebody anybody nobady something anything nothing someone anyone none 等等这样的词称之为复合不定代词,在不定代词之后,通常谓语动词用单三型式,（is was has).
复合不定代词在句子中作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式.如：Nobody knows his name.没有人知道他的名字.
陈述部分主语是不定代词everybody,anyone,somebody,nobody,no one等,疑问部分常用复数they,有时也用单数he.This is our new headmaster,isn’t it?
