Ways to tell them apart:
- No body is two words which could imply an absence of a physical body, often used literally.
- Nobody is a single word used to refer to the absence of people or the lack of a significant person.
- Think of no body in terms of physical presence - if theres no body, theres nothing tangible or corporeal present.
- Nobody deals more with the idea of people or existence in a figurative sense - it means no person or no one is there.
- If youre unsure, check if you mean the physical absence (use no body) or absence of people (nobody').
