Dear [이름],
You continue to impress me with your daily performance. In order for you to improve more on your English skills, check the correction that I am always giving you on your daily evaluation. Take note of the correct pronunciation of each word and correct sentence construction. I commend you for being an active participant and I appreciate the effort that you invest into learning English. Thank you for the time that you always spend in our class.
Take note of the following notes to further understand the difference among the words: SOME, ANY, ANYONE, SOMEONE, and ANYWHERE.
I. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOME AND ANY
“Some” is used in positive statements. “Any” is used in negative statements and questions: I want some bread I don’t want any bread. Do we have any bread in the house?Exception to the Rule:
“Some” is used in questions if you are offering something to someone, or asking for something:
Would you like some bread? Can I have some extra ketchup for my fries, please? Only use “some” and “any” with uncountable noun and plural countable nouns:She wants some water. (water = uncountable noun) He hasn’t received any e-mails yet. (e-mails = plural countable noun) Don’t use “some” or “any” with singular countable nouns.
Can I have some apple? (apple = singular countable noun)
Can I have an apple? Paul doesn’t have any car. (car = singular countable noun)
Paul doesn’t have a car.
II. SOMEONE, ANYONE, ANYWHERE
Take note of the following:
1. The difference between somebody and anybody, somewhere and anywhere and something and anything are the same as the difference between some and any.
2. The words somebody, something, somewhere etc., are used in affirmative clauses, whereas the words anybody, anything, anywhere etc., are used in negative and interrogative sentences.
Examples:
a. There is somebody at the door.
b. Did anyone come?
c. I don’t want to go anywhere too expensive.
d. If you need anything just tell me.
3. When these words are used as subjects they are followed by singular verbs.
Examples:
a. Everybody loves her.
b. Everything is ready.
4. Note that somebody is normally used to refer to only one person. To refer to more than one person, we use some people.
Examples:
a. Somebody wants to meet you.
b. some people want to meet you.
I\'ll see you tomorrow, [이름]. You may take a rest now. Good night. Bye
