Complete the sentences with one of the underlined words/phrases in the text

Объяснение:

В вопросах мы используем и some, и any. Мы используем some, когда говорим о человеке или вещи, зная, что они существуют, или думая, что они существуют:

Are you waiting for somebody? (I think you are waiting for somebody)

Вы ждете кого-либо?

Мы используем some в вопросах, когда предлагаем или спрашиваем что-нибудь:

Would you like something to eat? (there is something to eat)

Вы хотели бы что-нибудь поесть?

Can I have some sugar, please? (there is probably some sugar I can have)

Можно мне немного сахара

Но в большинстве вопросов мы используем any. Мы не знаем существует ли человек или вещь:

‘Have you got any luggage?’ ‘No, I haven’t.’

‘У вас есть багаж?’ ‘Нет.’

I can’t find my bag. Has anybody seen it?

Я не могу найти свою сумку. Кто-нибудь видел её?

C

Мы часто используем any после if:

If there are any letters for me, can you send them on to this address?

Если ко мне будут (какие-нибудь) письма, можете отправить их на этот адрес?

If anyone has any questions, I’ll be pleased to answer them.

Если у кого-нибудь есть какие-либо вопросы, я с радостью на них отвечу.

Let me know if you need anything.

Сообщите (дайте мне знать), если вам что-нибудь понадобится.

В следующих предложениях нет if, но смысл такой же:

I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused. (= if I have caused any trouble)

Я извиняюсь за какие-либо причиненные мною проблемы (= если я причинил какие-либо проблемы)

Anyone who wants to do the exam must tell me by Friday. (= if there is anyone)

Все, кто хочет сдать экзамен, должны сообщить мне до пятницы. (= если (есть) кто-нибудь)

D

Мы также используем any в значении ‘не важно какой; любой’:

You can take any bus. They all go to the centre. (= не важно в какой автобус вы сядете)

‘Sing a song.’ ‘Which song shall I sing?’ ‘Any song. I don’t mind.’ (= любую песню)

Come and see me any time you want.

‘Let’s go out somewhere.’ ‘Where shall we go?’ ‘Anywhere. (Куда угодно.) I just want to go out.’

We left the door unlocked. Anybody could have come in. (Кто угодно мой зайти.)

Сравните something и anything:

A: I’m hungry. I want something to eat. (что-нибудь)

B: What would you like?

A: I don’t mind. Anything. (Всё, что угодно.) (= it doesn’t matter what)

E

Somebody/someone/anybody/anyone – слова в единственном числе:

Someone is here to see you.

Здесь кто-то хочет тебя видеть.

Но мы часто используем they/them/their после этих слов:

Someone has forgotten their umbrella. (= his or her umbrella)

Кто-то забыл свой зонт. (= его или её зонт)

If anybody wants to leave early, they can. (= he or she can)

Если кто-нибудь хочет уйти пораньше, вы можете это сделать. (= он или она может)
