Using SOME and ANY
Having trouble using these words? Here are some tips to help you.
- We use some and any, not a/an, with uncountable nouns and plural nouns. They are used when we talk about a limited number or quantity.
- Some is used in (affirmative) sentences.
- Any is used in (negative) sentences and sentences with questions.
Here are some examples:
I'd like some coffee.
Here are some books for you.
I haven't got any time.
Have you got any sugar?
There aren't any trains today.
Do you speak any languages?
Now here's a challenge for you. Can you choose the correct answer for these sentences?
1. There aren't ( some / any ) letters for you.
2. Are there ( some / any ) restaurants near here?
3. I did ( some / any ) exercise this morning.
4. I'm having ( some / any ) problems with my car.
5. Have you got ( some / any ) brothers or sisters?
