[hide]Introduction
One difference between "some" and "any" is quantity.
- Some cookies could mean:
- two or three cookies (snacktime) OR
- eight thousand cookies (a cookie factory)
- Any brownies: at least one brownie.
- one ⇒ an / a (compare à l'article "un(e)" en français)
- an + -y = any
- "Not any" means none. Not one. Zero. Zilch.
Affirmative (+) / negative (-) / interrogative (?)
- Dans les phrases affirmatives, on trouve presque toujours some.
- Dans les phrases négatives, any.
- Pour les phrases interrogatives,
- si tu sais que quelque chose existe, emploie some
- sinon, any.
