Правило употребления some и any

Some употребляется преимущественно в утвердительных предложениях и означает «несколько», «немного», «некоторое количество».

Примеры:

• I have got some books. — У меня есть несколько книг.

• There is some milk in the fridge. — В холодильнике есть немного молока.

Any употребляется преимущественно в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях.

Примеры:

• Have you got any friends? — У тебя есть друзья?

• There aren't any apples. — Здесь нет яблок.

• I haven't got any money. — У меня нет денег.

Запомни:

• Утверждение (+) → some

• Отрицание (−) → any

• Вопрос (?) → any

Это основное правило для данного упражнения. Однако в английском языке есть исключения: например, some используется в вопросах-предложениях и просьбах (Would you like some tea?).
