Some – any – no – every with countable and uncountable nouns
A bit of theory
Countable nouns |
We can count countable nouns. A bottle two bottles three bottles
Countable nouns – singular a/an We use an before words beginning with a vowel. I’ve got an umbrella. Have you got a chair?
Countable nouns – plural some, any, not any We use some for statements. There are some chairs in the other room.
We use any for questions. Are there any chairs in the other room?
We use not … any for negatives. There aren’t any chairs in the other room.
|
Uncountable (mass) nouns |
We cannot count uncountable nouns. Some coffee some milk some rice
All uncountable/mass nouns some, any, not any We bought some tea. Did you buy any tea? We didn’t buy any tea.
Are there some sandwiches for me? There isn’t any food left. |
Write a or some.
….a…… tree
……....... snow
……....... boxes
……....... coffee
……....... water
……....... cup
Choose the correct word underlined in each sentence.
Jack hasn’t got a/any brother.
There weren’t some/any letters for me this morning.
Could I have a/some water, please?
I went to the supermarket because I didn’t have a/any milk.
There isn’t a/any railway station in this town.
Sorry, we don’t have some/any sandwiches left.
Have you got a/any pen that I can borrow?
There aren’t some/any trees in our street.
Jane wrote a/some letter to her penfriend.
Can you go to the shops? We need some/any eggs.
Put some or any in each space.
There aren’t ….any…. good restaurants in this town.
Don’t worry about lunch. I’ve brought …………….. sandwiches.
You need ……………….. scissors to cut the paper.
Have you got ………………… brothers and sisters?
I think you owe me ………………….. money.
We’d like to stay longer, but we don’t have ……………. time.
Could you give me ………………. information please?
Sam bought …………….. trousers in the sale.
There are …………. books on the table. Are they yours?
Could you bring me …………………. bread from the supermarket?
Remember:
Some is used before countable or uncountable nouns. I’ll buy some apples. He gave me some money.
Some and its compounds (somebody, something etc) are normally used in positive sentences. They are also used in questions when we want to make an offer, a request or when we expect a positive answer. There’s someone at the door. (=positive) Would you like something to eat? (=offer) Could I have something to drink? (= request) Is there someone waiting for me? (= I expect there is) but: Is there anyone waiting for me? (= I’m asking in general)
Any is used before countable or uncountable nouns. Is there any sugar? Any and its compounds (anyone, anything etc) are normally used in questions. Is there anyone here? They are also used in positive sentences meaning “It doesn’t matter how/what/which/when/who/where”. You can go anywhere you want. Any and its compounds can be used after if in a positive sentence. If anything is broken, I will hold you responsible.
No/not any are used before countable and uncountable nouns. No/not any and their compounds (no one/not anyone, nothing/not anything etc) are used in negations. I know no one at this party. I don’t know anyone at this party. Any and its compounds are used with negative words (hardly, never, without, seldom, rarely etc). I never go anywhere alone at night. (not:
I never go nowherealone at night.)Every is used before singular countable nouns. Every and its compounds take a verb in singular. Every worker in the factory has been well trained. (= all the workers) We’ve bought everything we need. (= all the things)
Put in some or any.

RUTH: OK. We’ll make (1) ..some.. sandwiches. What do we need?
