The quantifiers<\/span> some, any<\/strong> and no<\/strong> are a kind of determiner<\/span>.<\/p>

Some<\/strong> is an unspecified quantity. It could be big or small, we don't know. Normally it is \"medium\".<\/p>

Any<\/strong> is also an unspecified quantity. It refers to \"one, some or all\". So it's a quantity from 1 to infinity (\u221e).<\/p>

No<\/strong> is easy! No is ZERO (0).<\/p>

The general rule is that we use some and no in positive (+) sentences<\/span> and any in question (?) and negative (-) sentences<\/span>.<\/p> <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
