Some and any.
You probably learnt these in one of your very first English classes. They are EVERYWHERE. Seriously, take a minute today and see how often you see these words pop up. They feel like two of the simplest words in the entire language.
So why do so many English learners keep getting them wrong?
Sorry if it feels like I’m calling you out, but it’s not just you! I hear some and any mistakes from students at every level: beginners, intermediate and even advanced learners who have been speaking English for decades.
The problem is that the "rules" most people were taught are incomplete. There's a lot more going on with some and any than you might think.
Today's lesson goes beyond the basics and tackles the bits that cause major confusion. By the end, you'll know exactly when to use each one and you'll start catching mistakes you didn't even realise you were making.
