Quantifiers (some, any, no)

not difficult at all. The only little trick is in the interrogative form, to be able to 

choose the right word. 

This lesson will help you review the quantifiers, pause a little, and think,

so as to choose well, not to hurt your locutor...

1) Affirmative form:

When you have to express an  unprecise quantity in the affirmative form,

 'some' must be used.

- Good! There's some tea in the cupboard.

2) Interrogative form: use some or any.

a) 'Some' is used when you are expecting a positive answer, for an offer, for instance.  

- Can I have some more tea, please? 

b)  With 'any', the sentence means that  the answer to the question is unknown. 

- Is there any tea to offer our guests? No, but there's some coffee... 

3) 'ANY' may mean 'any one', or 'whichever' (in the three forms:  affirmative,

interrogative and negative. 

A. - You can take any book! 

I.? - Can I choose any colour for my car? 

N. You can't just take any drink... Don't forget you're allergic to mint. 

Here you are ! Therefore, the only difficulty is in the interrogative form! In that case, it's 

better to think a little and examine the situation carefully, so as not to hurt your locutor. 

Go with the FORCE!
