Answer:

Explanation:

Some and any

Here are three typical mistakes with some and any.

1. I don’t have some friends.

2. I haven’t got any book.

3. I’d like tea, please.

The basic grammar rules for using some and any are:

1. Use some in positive sentences, and any in negative sentences

“I have some money.”

“I don’t have any books.”

“I’d like some tea, please.”

Note that in the first example, the noun “money” is uncountable. In the second, “books” is plural countable.

2. Use a / an when the noun is singular.

“I haven’t got a book” (NOT “I haven’t got any book.”)

3. Use “some” when we consider the noun to be restricted in a particular way, and any when the noun is not restricted.

“Would you like some sugar in your coffee?” (I’m imagining one or two spoonfuls of sugar, rather than a larger quantity.)

“Do you have any questions?” (On any subject or point that you like – you can ask me absolutely everything!)

4. We can use some and any as pronouns

“Have you got any brothers or sisters?”

“No, I haven’t got any.”

Do we need any bread from the shop?

“No, we’ve got some.”
