How to Use SOME & ANY

Some

Some digunakan untuk menunjukkan jumlah yang tidak pasti, jumlah pasti dianggap tidak penting. Some digunakan pada pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif, misalnya:
- I have some books.
- She wants some apples.

Some juga digunakan dalam pertanyaan, tetapi hanya apabila kita memperkirakan jawaban pertanyaan tersebut adalah “Ya”. Contoh:
- Do you have some paper? (penanya berharap jawabannya adalah “Ya”)
- Would you like some french fries? (penanya berharapan jawabannya adalah “Ya”).

Any

Any digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan negatif. Misalnya:
- I don’t have any money.
- There aren’t any taxis near here.

Any juga umumnya digunakan dalam pertanyaan, khususnya jika kita memperkirakan jawabannya adalah “Tidak”. Contoh:
- Do you have any paper? (penanya memperkirakan jawabannya kemungkinan “Tidak”)
- Is there any time to go to the doctor’s? (penanya memperkirakan kemungkinan tidak ada waktu).

Some dan any sering digunakan seperti artikel (a/an) untuk kata benda jamak. A/an digunakan untuk kata benda countable tunggal, dan some/any bisa digunakan untuk kata benda jamak, countable atau uncountable. Misalnya:
- I have a newspaper, some newspaper, and some money

“A newspaper” merupakan kata benda countable tunggal jadi digunakan a, “newspapers” merupakan kata benda countable jamak jadi digunakan some, dan money merupakan kata benda uncountable jadi juga digunakan some.

Pada awalnya memang kelihatan rumit, tetapi ketika anda mempraktikkan penggunaannya dan tidak sekedar membacanya akan lebih bermakna, dan semakin anda berpengalaman dan percaya diri anda akan segera belajar menggunakan grammar bahasa Inggris dengan baik.

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) Do you have any coffee?
No, I don’t, but I’ve got some tea. Do you want some?
Yes, please.
Do you want a cookie too?
Sure, I love cookies.

2) I’m really hungry. Let’s eat.
OK. I’ve got some chicken in the refridgerator, do you want some?
Yea, that sounds great.
I’ve also got some tacos in the cupboard, and there’s an apple pie as well.
Do you have any juice?
Sure, it’s over there. Help yourself.

3) It’s Mum’s birthday next week. Let’s get her a present.
OK. How about some perfume?
Well, she doesn’t have any. She doesn’t use it.
So how about some clothes or a watch?
That’s a good idea, but I don’t know her size.
Let’s just buy a gift voucher. Then she can choose her own present.
Great idea!

Get = mendapatkan present = kado/hadiah perfume = parfum use = menggunakan watch = jam tangan size = ukuran gift voucher = voucher hadiah then = kemudian choose = memilih
