Ex 298 Q 6 English to Latin quisquam versus aliquis

Post by Thomas3333333 »

Salve,

The question asks to translate: "Did you see some one in the country? I did not see any one."

The answer key translates this as : "Vidistine ruri quemquam? Quemquam non vidi"

Should not the first quemquam refering to the "some one" be translated using the indefinite pronoun aliquis instead of the indefinite pronoun quisquam?

Thankyou.
