4. Some or any?

We use «some» in positive sentences.

Example: I have some money.

We use «any» in negative sentences or questions.

Examples: I don't have any money. - Do you have any money?

We often use «some» in questions when offering or asking for something that is there.

Example: Would you like some coffee? (offer) - Could I have some tea instead, please? (request).

Notice that it would also be correct to say:
«Can I get you anything to drink?» or «Is there any tea?»

We use «some» words - somebody, someone, somewhere and something - in positive sentences.

Example: He lives somewhere near here.

We use «any» words - anybody, anyone, anywhere and anything - in negative sentences or questions.

Example: Do you know anything about that book? - She hasn't found anywhere to stay.

Notice also that «somebody» sometimes means «en eller annen» and «anybody» sometimes means «hvem som helst»:

Somebody will be able to tell you where the hotel is.
Anybody will be able to tell you where the hotel is.

Choose the correct alternative.
