易游app:Some and Any 的区别
I'm a fan of BBC UK China. I love to listen to your programmes. They make learning English fun and interesting for me. Could you please help me clarify when do I use the word 'some' or 'any' in questions asking for things? What is the implication and is there a degree of politeness? For example: Do you have any bread? Do you have some bread?

Some and any are two simple words but are important when you're trying to buy something. Some means an amount of or a number of, and any refers to an amount however large or small. But which is the best word to use?
Some tends to get used in positive sentences that expect a positive reply.
Any tends to get used in negative sentences and most questions.
Would you like some bread?
