Activity Proper

  1. The teacher presents the chart displaying the quantifiers “some” and “any”, their differences and usage in sentences.

  3. In positive or affirmative sentences with countable nouns in the plural and with uncountable nouns.

Example “There are some oranges” and “there is some sugar.”

In questions asking to receive something for example:

“Can I have some oranges?” or “Can I have some sugar?”

We use “some” in questions offering something to someone like; “Would you like some oranges?”

We use the word “any” in two situations:

  1. In normal questions for countable plural nouns and uncountable nouns, like for example “Are there any oranges?” and “Do you have any chocolates?”
  2. We can also use “any” in negative statements: “I don’t want any oranges” and “I don’t have any sugar.”
  3. Emphasize that “some” is used for positive sentences while “any” is used for negative sentences and questions.
