"some man, and some woman," are they used in England?

Question

Actually, I use "Somebody, or someone."

Answer 1

It depends on the context. Normal use is "somebody" or "someone" if they are unidentified, but there are times when one wants to be more descriptive in relating an event.

Example:
I was waiting for the bus when somebody barged in front of me.
I was waiting for the bus when some woman barged in front of me.

The second sentence is more powerful because it makes a more personal impact. The unknown person made enough impression to at least have their gender identified!

Answer 2

I agree with Frances. When we these phrases we often add an adjective :

... when, some rude man, pushed me aside....

... and then, some stupid woman said.....

...from the back of the hall, some intelligent woman suggested that.....

Answer 3

yeah a person could say:

"some man just approached me" or "some women started shouting"

but this would technically be grammatically incorrect.

The correct way would be to replace te word "some" for the word "a":

"a man just approached me" or
"a women started shouting"
