Complete the teenager's highly dramatic diary entry about a very boring weekend.
"I walked around the mall all afternoon, but I bought _________________________ because I forgot my wallet. I tried to call my friends to complain, but _________________________ answered their phones. Now I am just sitting on the sofa because there is absolutely _________________________ else to go!"

The correct answers are nothing, nobody, and nowhere.

Use nothing for things you didn't buy.

Use nobody for the people who didn't answer.

Use nowhere for places you can't go.

Remember: Because nobody, nothing, and nowhere are already negative, the verbs in the sentence stay positive (e.g., "bought," "answered," "is").
