Some Any
When do we use some and when any?
We use some and any for an amount which is not known e.g. Do you have any crisps?
Use of some and any
- some: affirmative statements, offers, requests and in questions when you expect the answer ›yes‹
- any: negative statements, questions
Do you have any bananas? No, we don't have any. But we have some oranges.
Exceptions:
I would like to buy fruit at a market. I see the man has wonderful apples so I can ask him:
- Can I have some of these apples?
If I do not see apples or if I am not sure whether there are apples at all I use any in this question.
- Do you have any apples?
