1、some和any的用法小结 我们知道,some通常用于肯定句,any则用于否定句或疑问句。但随着学习的深入,我们发现,情况并不完全如此,上述说法只能算是对some和any用法的一个不太准确和完整的概括。由于some和any是英语中比较常用的词,我们有必要对其用法作出较完善的归纳。 一、some和any作为形容词或代词,可以用来说明或代替复数名词或不可数名词,表示不定量,意为“一些”,其区别是:对其所说明或代替的名词持肯定态度时,用some;持非肯定(否定或疑问)态度时,用any。 在以下句子中使用some: 1.肯定句(包括肯定的陈述句和祈使句以及反意疑问句中肯定的
2、陈述部分)。如: There are some new books on the teacher's desk. We have a lot of sugar. Take some with you, please. He bought some bread, didn't he? 2.持肯定态度的一般疑问句。如: Are there some stamps in that drawer? Didn't she give you some money? 3.表示请求或建议的一般疑问句,通常都希望得到对方肯定的答复,所以也用some。如: May
3、I ask you some questions? Would you like some tea? 4.特殊疑问句及选择疑问句。因为特殊疑问句和选择疑问句并不对some所说明或代替的名词表示疑问。如: Where can I get some buttons? Do you have some pens or pencils? 在以下句子中使用ANY: 1.否定句(包括否定的陈述句和祈使句以及反意疑问句中否定的陈述部分)。如: I can't give you any help now. Do not make any noise. Th
4、ere weren't any trees here, were there? 2.含有除not以外的其他否定词或否定结构的句子。如: Jim hardly makes any mistakes in his homework. He went to London without any money in his pocket. She was too poor to buy any new clothes. 3.一般疑问句(持肯定态度的除外)。如: Did she buy any tomatoes yesterday? I want some pap
5、er. Do you have any? 4.条件状语从句。如: If you are looking for any ink, you can find it on my desk. If there are any good apples there, get me two kilos, please. 因为条件句“如果……”表达的也是不肯定的态度。所以,如果说话者持肯定的态度或期待得到肯定的答复时,则可以用some。如: Bring me two pieces of paper if you have some. 5.whether/if(是否)引导的
6、名词从句。如: It is still unknown whether they have found any proof. He asked if he could drink any cool water. 二、some还可表示“某些”或用在单数名词前表示“某一个”。any则可用于表示“任何一些”或“(至少3个中)任何一个”,二者均可用于肯定或非肯定的句子中。如: I don't like some of them. He is working at some place in the north. Any criminal(s) will be
7、 punished. You can take any of these. 三、some和any也可作为副词,用于比较级前,表示程度,意为“稍许,几分”,用法与其作形容词或代词表示“一些”时基本相同。如: He feels some better now. She was so tired that she could not go any further. some还可以用在数字之前,意为“大约”。如: He is some forty years old. 四、由some-和any-构成的复合不定代词和不定副词,其用法区别多与som
