Some and any Some/ any + — one/ — body/ — thing/ — where

Обычно some применяют в утвердительном предложении, а any — в отрицательном и в вопросах :

— Sue has caught some flies. — We haven’t got any money.

— I’ve got something tasty to eat. — He’s busy. He never has any time.

— Let’s go somewhere quiet. — She never goes anywhere.

— She refused to do anything.

Any / anyone / anything и т. д. часто используются после if:

— If there are any calls for me, can you say that I’m not home?

— If anyone has any questions, ask now.

— If you want anything, say it to the servant, he’ll do everything.

В предложениях без if, но смысл в них тот же:

— Anyone who wants to get this job must give me their names before Tuesday.

— I’ll welcome any

guests that will come to you.

В вопросительных предложениях обычно употребляется местоимение any :

— Have you got any coffee? — Has anybody called me?

Но some часто используется в вопросах, когда ожидаемым ответом является `yes’:

— What’s wrong with him? Has he got some troubles?

— She’s in a hurry. Is she going out somewhere?

И в вопросах, особенно когда мы предлагаем или просим о чем-либо:

— Would you like some work? — Can I have some of those vegetables?

— I’d rather go anywhere than stay at home.

— `Tell me a story.’ `What story shall I tell?’ `Any one. I don’t mind.’

Someone /somebody /anyone /anybody используются, как слова в единственном числе:

— Someone wants to talk with you.

Но часто they / them / their используются после этих слов вместо he/ she:

— If anyone needs to leave, they can.
