    My Request for you, sir, is " Can you post videos related to "Transitional Words and Adverbs". As a matter of fact, I have difficulty organizing my essays or composition as a result of a lack of using such points.

    Rule 1 - We use "some" in positive sentences with:
    - countable nouns in the plural;
    - uncountable nouns always in the singular;
    Rule 2 - We use "some" in questions asking for something:
    - countable nouns in the plural;
    - uncountable nouns always in the singular;
    Rule 3 - We use "some" in questions offering something:
    - countable nouns in the plural;
    - uncountable nouns always in the singular;
    "ANY"
    Rule 1 - We use "any" for normal questions:
    - countable nouns in the plural;
    - uncountable nouns always in the singular;
    Rule 2 - We use "any" in the negative sentences:
    - countable nouns in the plural;
    - uncountable nouns always in the singular;

    Dear Andrew,
    I have no words to describe you how much thankful I am, to you of posting these tutorials. As always this lesson is very informative but I an little bit confusion between two sentences;
    1) There are a few apples.
    2) There are some apples.
    Would you please put some light on these?
    I guess the difference Is the situation in which we use it!
    Thank you

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  8 років тому

      Hello and thanks for the comment and question.
      We use both "a few" and "some" to indicate a plural but there is a slight difference in meaning:
      1) There are a few apples. -> ""a few" = a small quantity (but more than 1 ) A few would be 2, 3 or 4 apples, for example
      2) There are some apples. -> "some" = a normal plural (more than 1) Some could be 3, 100 or 10,000 apples, for example.
      Best wishes,
      Andrew

    And I'll stay hungry ;)
    3) Are there any cheery ( my favourites fruits)

    - Excuse me, I'm looking for red kichen curtains.
    Do you have any red curtains?/ Are there any red curtains?

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  10 років тому

      Silvia Kerkelova Hi, thanks again for your answers. Here are my comments and corrections:
      1) "There are some radishes and some lettuce" --> Correct
      "There are some eggs" --> Correct
      "There is some chees" --> Correct (but "cheese" is the correct spelling)
      "And I'll make a delicious healthy salad :)" --> The salad sounds good!
      2) "There isn't any sausge" --> It depends! If the sausages are small individual sized sausages, small enough for one person to eat, then "sausage" is countable and we say "There aren't any sausages." But if the sausage is a very big sausage that you cut into several portions for several people (like cheese), then sausage is uncountable and we say "There isn't any sausage."
      "There aren't any tomatoes" --> Correct
      "There isn't any butter" --> Correct
      3)"Are there any cheery" --> (I think you mean "cherry"?) Cherry is a countable noun. So we must use the plural - "Are there any cherries?" or "Do you have any cherries?"
      "Is there any pineapplle" --> In the context of a shop, pineapple is a countable noun because they sell lots of them. So we say "Are there any pineapples?" or even better "Do you have any pineapples?"
      "Excuse me, I'm looking for red kichen curtains. Do you have any red curtains?/ Are there any red curtains?" --> Correct, very good :)
      Well done, you did very well.
      Best wishes,
      Andrew

    Good morning Teacher,
    First of all, I'd like to thank you for the lesson, I love all your videos but I have some questions about this lesson.
    I'm gonna give you an example and I'd like to ask for the underline word and correct me if I'm wrong:
    1- There was a shop near her house. (a shop)
    The first answer: What was there near her house?
    The second answer: What was near her house?
    My question is: What's the different between the two questions and why?
    Kind regards

  • @luciaparisi5782
    @luciaparisi5782 9 років тому +1

    thank you for your lesson, it was very clear.
    I'd like ask you in order rule 2 using "some" in question asking for something, I can say: "Can I have some cheese?". But in order rule 1 using "any" in questions I have to say: "do you have any cheese? the meaning is the same in both sentences, why there is this difference? Excuse me if I don't speak well english. thanks for your attention.

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  9 років тому

      Lucia Parisi Hello and thanks for the comment and question.
      The meaning of "Can I have some cheese?" is not the same as "do you have any cheese?""Can I have some cheese?" - I am asking for somebody to give me some cheese.
      "do you have any cheese?" - I am asking if they possess any cheese. I am not necessarily asking them to give me the cheese.
      The basic rule for questions is if the question is to ask to receive or give something that is an uncountable noun, then we use "some". Otherwise, for "normal" questions concerning uncountable nouns, we use "any".
      Best wishes,
      Andrew

  • @sangao2659
    @sangao2659 10 років тому +2

    I would rather ask you a question. Yesterday, my English teacher said:
    "Can you give me some helpful advice for the situation ?"
    We gave him some answers, but not pleased him. Then, he proceeded to ask:
    "Can you give me any better advice?"
    Well, I think the first question is indisputably true. However, the second is quite counfusing when remembering your lesson.
    So I want to ask whether the second is true or not ?
    Follow me, when my teacher used "some", he guessed that his students have questions already and when he use "any" he was not sure if they have or not. Is that true?
    I know it is annoying to ask you read too much, but this is really important with me. Thanks and best wishes to you!

    • @CrownAcademyEnglish
      @CrownAcademyEnglish  10 років тому +3

      The second question should be ""Can you give me some better advice?" That is grammatically correct because we are asking to receive something and advice is uncountable.
      If we want to know if other advice exists, then we say "Is there ANY better advice?" or we can say "Do you have ANY better advice?" because these are simple questions and we are not necessarily asking to receive it.
      So because the meaning is so similar, people often mix them up. It is very small mistake, very subtle but quite common. You will hear it a lot. But you are right :)

According to your youtube, it will be like "we can get a book from any libraries in the state." Can you explain why the any is followed by a countable singular noun(library)? Thank you.

      +Adriana Marcela Pinzón Martínez Hello and thanks for your answers. Here are some comments and corrections:
      1.- There are some types of ham. --> grammatically correct but not very natural. "There are several types of ham." or simply "There is some ham." are both better.
      - There is much pear juice. --> grammatically correct but not very natural. In the affirmative, it's better to say "a lot of" -> "There is *a lot of* pear juice."
      - There are some yogurts. --> correct
      2. - There isn't any broth. --> correct
      - There aren't some fruit. --> There isn't any fruit. ("fruit" is uncountable)
      - There isn't any guacamole. --> correct
      3. - Do you have any grapes? --> correct
      - Isn't there some rice? --> Isn't there *any* rice?
      - Don't you have some pop corn? --> Don't you have *any* popcorn?

    Some friends are coming for dinner and so my fridge is really full. I've got some prawns and fresh fish to cook on the grill and a corn on the cob. There's a bottle of mineral water but I haven't got any alcohol-my firends don't drink. I've got them some fruit juice instead. There's a lettuce to make a salad and some tomatoes. I haven't got any onions for the salad-I don't like raw onions. I've got a cucumber ... Oh. no! I haven't. Where's that cucumber...?

      Ramzi Dweik Thank you very much for your comment. They are very similar in meaning in the context of a shop. Both questions suggest that you want to buy carrots. But without context of a shop "Are there any carrots?" - this is asking if carrots exist somewhere . "Do you have any carrots?" - this is asking if somebody possesses any carrots.

    thank you for this lesson, but I have a small question:
    What about saying: "There is no water" instead of "There is not any water".
    And so what is the difference between using NO and ANY.
