somedoby/anybody in affirmative/hypothetical

[sghinaus]

Hello.

I'm unable to understand the general rule to use somebody/anybody in affirmative and hypothetical sentences.

I have found for hypothetical constructions:

1) If somebody had called, they would left have left a messagge
2) If anybody wants to know, tell them to phone this number
3) If anybody asks you can tell them I'll be back soon.

So and I don't understand what is correct for this two:

1)' Who shall I give this one to?' - You can give it to (somebody/anybody). It's doesn't matter
2)That's a very easy job. (anybody/somebody) can do it.

Thank you in advance

It's not really anything to do with hypothetical situations.

Have a look at these threads, and then come back with ant questions you still have.

some and any in this case gets me mad!
I have yet to meet 'anyone' ...
