    Else and compound words


    1)   The compound forms of some, any, no, every ...   are followed by ELSE. All are singular, including 'everyone else'.

    ex : No! I'm not going to do it for you... Find somebody else to help!

    ex : The music is bad here... Let's go somewhere else ! (= elsewhere) 

    ex : Do not insist! She told us nothing else about herself, I can't answer your questions...

     

    -    => something else /anything else? 

                                                             

    2) Similarly, Interrogatives  who, what, where, (not) much,   are followed by  ELSE.

    ex : Jim and Pete were at the meeting but who else was ?

    ex : What else would you like to drink? 

     

    3) The possessive case  follows ‘somebody else' : to be in someone else's shoes = to be in someone else's place. 

    ex : Oh dear... I've taken somebody else's umbrella...

     

    4OR ELSE  = otherwise.

    ex : Let's go now... or else, we'll miss our train! 

     

                                                                                    

    Now, you should be ready for the exercise! Go for it!
