LoginNobody vs. Nobodies
When Can We Use 'Nobodies'?
Only when 'nobody' is used as a noun, we can use the plural form 'nobodies' in a sentence. Not when it is used as an indefinite pronoun.
We were nothings and nobodies with everything to prove.
'Nobody' as a Pronoun
'Nobody' can both be a pronoun and a noun.
As a pronoun, we cannot use the plural form of 'nobody', i.e. 'nobodies'.
'Nobody' is a singular pronoun and always comes with a singular verb.
Nobody understands what I'm going through.
I keep asking the same question, but nobody cares enough to answer.
'Nobody' as a Noun
However, as a noun, 'nobody' can be treated as any other countable nouns and we can use its plural form with a plural verb.
I'm sure there are more somebodies than nobodies in the world.
I was hanging out with a bunch of nobodies.
