Hello everyone, and welcome to On Your Mark’s English! 👋

Today is Grammar Made Easy Tuesday, and we’re learning the difference between two very important words: some and any.


💡 The Rule Is Very Simple

These two words are used in different types of sentences. Let’s break it down:


✔️ SOME (Positive Sentences)

We use some in positive sentences.

Examples:

I have some friends in London. 🇬🇧

I would like some water, please. 💧

We use some when we’re giving information or making a polite request.


ANY (Negative Sentences & Questions)

We use any in negative sentences and in questions.

Examples:

🔸 Negative: I don’t have any money.

🔸 Question: Do you have any questions?

Any is perfect when we’re asking or saying “zero”.
