Read this example: In my desk there are some pencils and some books.

Some and any are used with countable (pens, books, pencils…) and uncountable (music, water..) nouns, todescribe an indefinite or incomplete quantity .

SOME

We use “some” in affirmative sentences. E.g.: I have got some pens in my pencil case.

ANY

We use “any” in negative sentences orquestions. E.g.: Do we have any juice?

We don´t have any juice left.

We can use “no” with a verb in

affirmative instead of “not any”. E.g.: I´m busy. I have no time to talk toher now.

NO Exceptions:

We often use “some” in questions when

offering or requesting something that isthere. E.g.: Would you like some coffee?(offer)

Could I have some more juice?(request )
