Grammar - Quantities

"Some" and "any" are quantifiers used to indicate an indefinite quantity or amount in English grammar. "Some" is used in positive sentences or questions to indicate the existence of a quantity, but not specifying how much. For example:

• "I have some apples."
• "Do you want some water?"

"Any" is used in negative sentences or questions to indicate the absence of a quantity. For example:

• "I don't have any apples."
• "Do you have any water?"

Both "some" and "any" can be used in both singular and plural nouns. The choice between "some" and "any" depends on the context and the tone of the sentence.
