personne and quelq'un

What is the difference between personne and quelq'un: I thought it is correct to say personne for anyone in  positive question form!

Bonjour M.A,

Take a look at the link below where Cécile explains the difference:

Could you contrast the use of quelqu'un with personne please? is that latter used in negative sentences only?

Also, take a look at the following link:

Ne ... personne = No one/nobody (French Negations)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
