Hi there. Welcome back.
This is a short one today, but it is a question I get a lot. What is the difference between "someone" and "somebody"?
The same question is asked about "everyone" and "everbody", "anyone" and "anybody" and "noone" and "nobody".
Let's clear it up :)
All the best and stay safe.

How to use "anticipate" and "bring forward" for predictions and plans
11/13/2020
https://www.speakpipe.com/unlockyourenglish
Hi there. Welcome back.
Let's take a look at the use of "anticipate" and the phrasal verb "bring forward".
"anticipate" can be considered a "false friend" in some languages, which means it looks like a similar word in your own language, but it may have a completely different meaning.
Let's see if it is a false friend in your language too :)
All the best and stay safe.
