PART A

A.
In general we use some(also somebody / someone / something) in positive sentence and any (Also anybody etc) in negative sentences :
Some
|
Any

o

|
o

o
He’s lazy. He never does any work
o
There isn’t anybody at the door
o

|
We use any in the following sentence because
the meaning is negative:
o

didn’t take any money with her)
o
He refused
to eat anything (he didn’t eat anything)
o
Hardly
anybody passed
the examination (=almost nobody
passed)
B.
We use both some and any is
question. We use some to talk about
a person or thing that we know exists, or we think exists :
o
Are you waiting for somebody ?(I think you are waiting for somebody)
We use some in question when we offer or ask
for things:
o
Would you like something to eat? (there is something to eat)
o
Can I have some sugar, please? (there is probably some sugar I can have)
C.
We often use any after if :
o
If there are
any letters for me, can you send
them on to this address?
o
If anyone has any question, I’ll be pleased to answer them
o
Let me know if you need anything
The
following sentences have the idea of if:
o
I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused (= if I have caused any trouble)
o
Anyone who wants
to do the exam must tell me by Friday (= if there is anyone)
D.
We also use any with the meaning it doesn’t
matter which :
o

take)
o
Sing a song, ”Which song shall I sing?” Any song. I don’t mind” (=it doesn’t
matter which song)
o
Come and see me any time you want
o
Lets go out somewhere “Where shall we go?” Anywhere. I just want to go out”
o
We left the door unlocked. Anybody could have come in.
Compare something and anything:
o
A :
I’m hungry. I want something to eat
B : What would you like ?
A : I don’t mind. Anything. (= it doesn’t matter what)
E.
Somebody /
someone / anybody / anyone are singular word :
- Someone is here to see you
But we
often use they / them / their after
these words:
- Someone has forgotten their umbrella (= his or her umbrella)
- If anybody wants to leave early, they can. (= he or she can )
