👉 Some unspecified person.
Okay class, settle down now, let’s take a look! You’ve encountered “sb,” and the dictionary tells you it means "some unspecified person." That’s a good start, but let’s dig a little deeper. Think of it like this: Sometimes we need to talk about someone , but we don't know their name. We just say "sb.” It’s short for “someone,” you see, Used when names aren't needed, agree? Like in a sentence such as: "I saw sb walking down the street." We don't need to tell you who it was, just that we observed them. It can also show up in things like “sb says…” or “sb did…” meaning a person is doing something. So, remember, “sb” stands for ‘someone’ when the specific person isn't important. Do you have any questions about that, my dears? Let's discuss!
