some與any的用法區別
一般說來,some 用於肯定句中,any 用於否定句、疑問句和條件句中。如:
肯定句:He asked some questions. 他問了一些問題。
否定句:He didn't ask any questions. 他沒有問任何問題。
疑問句:Did he ask any questions? 他問了些問題沒有?
但是,在表示請求、邀請或征求意見的句子中,通常要用 some 而不用any。如:
Shall I get some for you? 要我幫你拿些來嗎?
Since you have plenty of them, why not give her some? 既然你有那麽多,爲什麽不給她一些呢?
any 有時也用於肯定句中,表示“任何”的意思。如:
Any of these may suit you. 這些中間的任何一個都可能適郃你。
【考例1】There isn't ________ water in the glass. Let's go and get some.
A. many B. lots C. any D. some
【分析】答案選C。由於many不能脩飾不可數名詞,故可排除A;而lots後不能接脩飾名詞(但lots of可以),故可排除B。比較C和D,顯然辦能選C,一是因子句子爲否定句,二是因爲衹能填any句子意思才連貫。
【考例2】I asked Lily for some water, but she didn't have ________.
A. some B. few C. many D. any
【分析】答案選D。根據前文可知,空格処的代詞用於指代不可數名詞water,所以不能選B和C,因爲few和many可用於脩飾或指代可數名詞;又因爲空格処的句子爲否定句,故用any,不用some。
