Spell Bee Word: Someone


What does someone mean?

Word: Someone

Part of Speech: Pronoun

Meaning: Someone means a person, when you do not know or do not say who it is.

How do you spell someone?

Syllables: some - one

Tricky part: The first vowel sounds like the u in sun, but it is spelt with an o. Children often write sumone.

Watch out for: sumone, sumwun

Memory tip: When you write it, say it to yourself as 'sohm-one', so the o goes in where you hear a u.

Someone in a sentence

Example 1: Someone left a red umbrella at the gate.

Example 2: I can hear someone singing in the garden.

Example 3: Please ask someone to help you carry the box.

Fun Fact

Someone always takes a singular verb, so we say someone is at the door, never someone are.
