Some & Any

Take a look at the examples and try to think of a rule

Any

• Mum doesn't want any apples.
• They don't have any friends.
• There isn't any milk left.
• Is there any ice in the fridge?

Some:

• I would like some apples, please.
• They know some people who work at a bank.
• Jane took some photographs.
• Would you like some coffee?

Tip

Denk aan bevestigende zinnen, ontkennende zinnen en vragen.

Some

• Affirmative sentences:
  There is somebody at the door. / I know something about him.
  
  
• Questions (you offer something)
  Would you like some coffee?
  
  
• Questions (you expect the person to say yes)
  Can I have some soup, please?

affirmative = bevestigend

Dit is een 'normale' zin.

Any

• Negative sentences:
  I am not going to buy any clothes today.
  
  
• Questions (you have no idea)
  Is there any milk left?

negative = ontkennend

Bijna altijd een zin met not of never er in.
