Quantifiers - Some / Any

Quantifiers are words that show how much there is of something.


Some is used to show an indefinite quantity, the exact number is not important. It is used in affirmative
statements, for example:
- I have some books. - She wants some apples.
Some is also in questions, but only when you think the answer wil be "Yes". For example:
- Would you like some french fries? ( I expect the anwer is "Yes")
Any is used in negative and interrogative statements. For example:
- I don't have any money. - Is there any time to go to the hospital?

Every means all. It is usually used in positive sentences, but can also be used in negative. Lets look as
some examples:

Did you win every game?


I won every game!
I did very well in my tennis match, but I did not win every point.
You didnt win every point, did you? Thats almost impossible!

No and none means not any, they are the only negative word we need to include in our sentence. This
difference between no and none is that none is a pronoun, so it can replace a noun and/or be the subject
in a sentence. .

Question: How did your games go? Reply: None of them went well.
None of my friends play tennis.
I have no friends that play tennis.
Question: Are there any rackets on sale? Reply: No, there are none on sale.
