I saw somebody there. (Vi a alguien allí.)
I did not see anybody there. (No vi a nadie allí.)
Did you see anybody there? (¿Viste a alguien allí?)

Da lo mismo decir somebody que someone, anybody que anyone, nobody que no-one. No-one se puede escribir también no one.
Any también puede significar "cualquier(a)":

Was there anybody in the house? (¿Había alguien en la casa?)
