— Да. — Вечеринку-сюрприз. — Хорошая идея. — Верно. Сколько человек? Только мы четверо. Еда, торт, что-нибудь выпить, подарки. Хорошо, давайте сделаем список покупок. |
Some and any Some/any + -one/-body/-thing/-where
(a) Обычно some применяют в утвердительном предложении, а any — в отрицательном и в вопросах (но обратите внимание на пункты b и d):
— Sue has caught some flies. — We haven’t got any money.
— I’ve got something tasty to eat. — He’s busy. He never has any time.
— Let’s go somewhere quiet. — She never goes anywhere.
— She refused to do anything.
(b) Any / anyone / anything и т.д. часто используются после if :
— If there are any calls for me, can you say that I’m not home?
— If anyone has any questions, ask now.
— If you want anything, say it to the servant, he’ll do everything.
в предложениях без if, но смысл в них тот же:
— Anyone who wants to get this job must give me their names before
Tuesday. (= if there is anyone who …)
— I’ll welcome any guests that will come to you. (= if there are any)
с) В вопросительных предложениях обычно употребляется местоимение any (а не `some’):
— Have you got any coffee? — Has anybody called me?
Но some часто используется в вопросах, когда ожидаемым ответом является `yes’ :
— What’s wrong with him? Has he got some troubles? (= I think
he has got some troubles and I expect you to say `yes’)
— She’s in a hurry. Is she going out somewhere?
(= She’s looking miserable. Isn’t she going out anywhere?)
и в вопросах, особенно когда мы предлагаем или просим о чём-либо:
— Would you like some work? — Can I have some of those vegetables?
(d) Any /anyone /anybody /anything /anywhere могут означать
it doesn’t matter which /who /what /where:
— You can buy any of these suits.
(=неважно который из этих костюмов)
— Call me any time you need. (=неважно когда)
— You can have anything you want for your birthday present.
— She left the child in the street. Anybody could have walked off with it.
— I’d rather go anywhere than stay at home.
— `Tell me a story.’ `What story shall I tell?’ `Any one. I don’t mind.’
(e) Someone /somebody /anyone /anybody используются, как слова в единственном числе:
— Someone wants to talk with you.
— Is anybody home?
Но часто they / them / their используются после этих слов вместо he / she :
— If anyone needs to leave , they can. (= he or she can)
— Somebody has spilt their (= his or her) coffee on the carpet.
