Explanation
“Anywhere” means in or to any place. It’s used when we don’t know or care about the exact place. You’ll often see it in questions or negative sentences. For example, “I can’t find my keys anywhere” means you’ve looked in many places and still can’t find them. It can also mean “wherever” in positive sentences.
