'Every', 'some', 'any' and 'no' can be used with 'one', 'body' and 'thing' to form compound pronouns, such as everyone, somebody, anything and nothing.
'Every', 'some', 'any' and 'no' can also be used with 'where' to form adverbs such as everywhere, somewhere and anywhere.
Pronouns such as somebody, nothing and everything usually take a singular verb, even though they may seem to refer to more than one thing.

Everybody has arrived.
However, after everyone/everybody, we use they/their/them, even though the verb is singular.
