Introduction
- One difference between "some" and "any" is quantity. Some people can mean two or three people or it can mean eight thousand...
- "Any" means at least one.
- one ⇒ an / a (compare à l'article "un(e)" en français)
- an + -y = any
- "Not any" means none. 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 ne sais pas si quelque chose existe, emploie any
- si tu sais qu'il existe: some.
