Question

there is not _____ water in the pool ( some / any )​

Answer 1

There is not (any) water in the pool.

Why did we use 'any'?

• We used 'any' because the pool doesn't contain water
• The sentence is giving a negative approach of a little water or no water at all in the pool.
• 'Some' is used for plural nouns so using it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
•  For example, There are some people in the office.
