SOME and ANY

Hello everybody! Today we are going to learn the usage of “some” and “any”.

We use SOME to talk about plural nouns and uncountable nouns. The things that appear in a city are always countable because we can count them (one gallery, two canteens, and fourteen factories). For example:

There are some shops

There are some hospitals

There are some zoos.

We use ANY to make questions and negative statements in which plural things and uncountable nouns appear.

There aren’t any bakeries

There aren’t any blocks of flats.

There aren’t any garages.

We can also use “a lot of” when a thing appears repeatedly in a place:

There are a lot of flats

There are a lot of casinos

There are a lot of cemeteries.

Clicking here you will find an exercise to practice. See you soon!
