Indefinite Pronouns for Things & Places

For things, use everything, something, anything, and nothing. For places, use everywhere, somewhere, anywhere, and nowhere. The same rule applies — these all take singular verbs. "Everything is fine." "There's nowhere to sit." Notice that "nothing" and "nowhere" already make the sentence negative, so you should not add "not".
