SOME OR ANY
Some y any se
utilizan cuando no queremos o no podemos expresar con precisión la cantidad. Some y any hacen
referencia a cantidades indefinidas y se podrían traducir por “alguno/a;
algunos/algunas”. A nivel semántico, some y any son
sinónimos. Lo que les diferencia es el tipo de frase en el cual se utilizan.
Some
Se utiliza en frases afirmativas, delante de un sustantivo:
·
Contable en plural:
I have some friends.
·
Incontable (singular):
I have some money.
Any
Se utiliza en frases interrogativas y negativas, delante de un sustantivo:
·
Contable en plural:
Do you have any friends? No, I don’t have any
friends.
·
Incontable (singular):
Do you have any money? No, I don’t have any
money.
Observaciones:
1. Some se puede utilizar en preguntas
para las que esperamos una respuesta afirmativa, como por ejemplo ofrecimientos
o cuando se pide permiso para algo:
Would you like some wine? (en una cena)
Could I have some more cake, please?
2. Any se utiliza
también en frases aparentemente afirmativas pero que tienen un significado
negativo. Se trata de frases que contienen alguna palabra negativa como never,
hardly ever etc. y que, por lo tanto, no pueden tener el verbo en la
forma negativa:
I never drink any wine.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough By Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell
LYRICS
Listen baby, ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far; don't worry baby
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far; don't worry baby
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry,
Oh baby
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
Oh baby
CHORUS
Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
CHORUS
Don'tcha know that there
CHORUS
