En inglés para hacer referencia a una cantidad indeterminada o indefinida de cosas usamos some y any, es decir, algunos / unas. Any se utiliza en preguntas y frases negativas, y some en frases afirmativas. Por ejemplo, decimos:

~ «Are there any books on the table?», «Yes, there are some books on the table»
~ «Are there any books on the floor?», «No, there aren’t any books on the floor».

Utilizamos any en preguntas cuando no especificamos la cantidad exacta de algo, por ejemplo:
~ «Are there año books on the table?», «Yes, there are some books on the table», o «No, there are not año books on the table»

Por el contrario, cuando queremos que se nos indique las cantidades que hay de algo usamos «how many» y para una respuesta específica utilizaremos: «one», «two», «three», etc, o «none»..

Anybody (alguien, nadie) se utiliza en preguntas y frases negativas, y somebody (alguien) en frases afirmativas. Por ejemplo, decimos:

~ «Is there Anybody sitting here?» «Yes, there is somebody sitting here»
~ «Is there Anybody sitting there?», «No, there is not Anybody sitting there»

 
El indefinido «Anybody» es inespecífico y por lo tanto tiene una respuesta no específica; para un pregunta precisa y una respuesta concreta utilizamos «who?»: «Mrs. Smith», «Mr. Smith», etc., o «nobody».
 
Tanto anything como something (algo) siguen las mismas reglas anteriores. Anything se utiliza en preguntas y frases negativas, y something en frases afirmativas. Por ejemplo, decimos:

~ «Have I got anything in my right hand?» «Yes, you have got something in your right hand»
~ «Have I got anything in my left hand?» «No, you have not got anything in your left hand»

 
El indefinido «anything» se utiliza en preguntas imprecisas; para una respuesta concreta utilizamos «what?»: «a light», «a book», etc, o «nothing».

En anglès per fer referència a una quantitat indeterminada o indefinida de coses fem servir some i any, es a dir, alguns/unes, tot i que en català molts cops no es tradueixen. Any es fa servir en preguntes i frases negatives, i some en frases afirmatives. Per exemple, diem:

~ «Are there any books on the table?», «Yes, there are some books on the table»
~ «Are there any books on the floor?», «No, there aren’t any books on the floor».

Utilitzem any en preguntes quan no especifiquem la quantitat exacta d’alguna cosa, per exemple:
~ «Are there año books on the table?», «Yes, there are some books on the table», o «No, there are not año books on the table»

Per contra, quan volem que se’ns indiqui les quantitats que hi ha de alguna cosa fem servir «how many» per a una resposta específica: «one», «two», «three», etc, o «none».

Anybody (algú, ningú) es fa servir en preguntes i frases negatives, i somebody (algú) en frases afirmatives. Per exemple, diem:

~ «Is there Anybody sitting here?» «Yes, there is somebody sitting here»
~ «Is there Anybody sitting there?», «No, there is not Anybody sitting there»

 
El indefinit «anybody» és inespecífic; per a un pregunta precisa i una resposta concreta fem servir «who?»: «Mrs. Smith», «Mr. Smith», etc., o «nobody».
 
Tant anything com something (alguna cosa) segueixen les mateixes regles anteriors. Anything es fa servir en preguntes i frases negatives, i something en frases afirmatives. Per exemple, diem:

~ «Have I got anything in my right hand?» «Yes, you have got something in your right hand»
~ «Have I got anything in my left hand?» «No, you have not got anything in your left hand»

 
El indefinit «anything» es fa servir en preguntes imprecises; per a una resposta concreta utilitzem «what?»: «a light», «a book», etc, o «nothing».

The meaning of the words any and some is «algunos/as», but we use any in questions and negative sentences, and some in positive sentences. For example, we say:

~ «Are there any books on the table?», «Yes, there are some books on the table»
~ «Are there any books on the floor?», «No, there aren’t any books on the floor».

We use any in a non-specific question, when the number is not important. For example:
~ «Are there año books on the table?», «Yes, there are some books on the table», o «No, there are not año books on the table»

If the number is important, we use «How many» and there is a specific answer: «one», «two», «three». etc., o «none».

Both anybody and somebody mean «alguien». We use anybody in questions and negative sentences, and somebody in positive sentences. For example, we say:

~ «Is there Anybody sitting here?» «Yes, there is somebody sitting here»
~ «Is there Anybody sitting there?», «No, there is not Anybody sitting there»

 
«Anybody» is non-specific and has a non-specific answer, whereas «who» is specific and has a specific answer: «Mrs. Smith», «Mr. Smith», etc., or «nobody».

Anything and Something both mean the same thing. We use anything in questions and negative sentences, and we use something in positive sentences. For example, we say:

~ «Have I got anything in my right hand?» «Yes, you have got something in your right hand»
~ «Have I got anything in my left hand?» «No, you have not got anything in your left hand»

 
Anything we use in a non-specific question, whereas «What?» is specific and has a specific answer: «a light», «a book», etc, or «nothing».
