3

00:17
topic today is SOME versus ANY.
4
17600
5040
00:22
Which can be a little bit complicated
5
22640
3520
00:26
so, pay attention. We're gonna get started. Okay, I move a little bit fast, but you
6
26160
5680
00:31
can watch the video again. You can see what I'm talking about so
7
31840
3840
00:35
let's go ahead and let's get started. So let's get started. We use
8
35680
13920
00:49
ANY and SOME to talk about amounts of things.
9
49600
7520
00:57
Okay, it's about the amount of of something. So generally,
10
57120
6880
01:04
we use SOME in positive sentences and ANY
11
64000
7119
01:11
in negative sentences and questions. Okay,
12
71119
7040
01:18
so if you look at this example, you can see that
13
78159
7361
01:25
SOME and ANY changes depending on if it's a positive
14
85520
6880
01:32
or a negative sentence or question. So, the first one is: there was
15
92400
7200
01:39
some cake, that is positive. And, there wasn't any
16
99600
7360
01:46
cake, that is negative. And: was there any cake?
17
106960
7199
01:54
That is a question, so you can see that usually some is for positive,
18
114159
6881
02:01
and any is for negative sentences. Have you ever heard of italki?

27
157440
6640
02:44
some positive sentences too. For example: Any score
28
164080
6799
02:50
above 80 is good. Or, anything will be good.
29
170879
7360
02:58
That's a positive sentence.
30
178239
3360
03:02
So, I think maybe you might be wondering what is the rule about
31
182560
6480
03:09
ANY and SOME? Well, we use SOME
32
189040
6240
03:15
for talking about a limited number or amount. Okay, if it's limited.
33
195280
6720
03:22
We use ANY for an unlimited number or amount. Okay,
34
202000
8159
03:30
so for example: I like any kind of cake. It means
35
210159
7521
03:37
all kinds of cake: unlimited. Okay, I don't like any kind of cake.
36
217680
8080
03:45
This means zero kinds of cake. Also, unlimited.
37
225760
6720
03:52
"I like some kinds of cake," means a limited number of the kinds of
38
232480
8080
04:00
cake. And: "I don't like some kinds of cake," means
39
240560
7520
04:08
a limited number of kinds of cake. So all of these sentences
40
248080
7920
04:16
are actually the same. I like or I don't like, but ANY and SOME
41
256000
6960
04:22
changes about the different kinds of cake.
42
262960
4320
04:27
Is it limited or unlimited? Okay, so that is the rule.
43
267280
4960
04:32
Maybe it's a little bit difficult, but you can watch
44
272240
3280
04:35

45
275520
