Understanding Quantifiers: Some, Any, Every, and No - Ex #74
Using "Some"
Use some in positive sentences when you don't know the exact amount. We also use it in questions when we offer something or ask for something.
1. I want some pizza.
2. Do you want some more coffee?
3. I have some books for you.
4. Would you like some water?
5. She bought some flowers.
Using "Any"
Use any in negative sentences to show that there is zero of something. It is also used for general questions when you are looking for information.
1. He doesn’t want any help.
2. Do you have any questions?
3. I don't have any money.
4. Are there any apples left?
5. We didn't see any cars.
Using "Every"
Use every to talk about all members of a group or the total amount. It makes the sentence feel complete.
1. Every student must submit their homework.
2. I haven’t counted every ballot yet.
3. Every person in the room is quiet.
4. Do you eat breakfast every day?
5. Every house on this street is white.
Using "No"
Use no in positive sentences to give a negative meaning (meaning zero quantity). It is often used in formal writing.
1. No animals are sold at this zoo.
2. No person can enter after hours.
3. I have no time today.
4. There is no milk in the fridge.
5. No students were late today.
