SOME, ANY, NO, EVERY and their derivatives

Местоимения some, any, no, прилагательное everyи их производные

Наряду с неопределенным артиклем в качестве определителя существительного могут употребляться местоимения someи any.

Местоимения some и any употребляются для обозначения неопределенного количества предметов или вещества. Местоимение someв сочетании с исчисляемым существительным во множественном числе имеет значение «несколько», «некоторые»:

Ex.: There are somestools and a large table in the kitchen. – В кухне есть несколько табуретов и большой стол.

I have some English books. – У меня есть несколько книг на английском языке.

В сочетании с исчисляемым существительным в единственном числе some имеет значение «какой-то», «какой-нибудь»:

Ex.: Tell me some interesting story. – Расскажи мне какую-нибудь интересную историю.

При неисчисляемых существительных some имеет значение «немного», «некоторое количество»:

Ex.: There is somejuice in the bottle. – В бутылке есть немного сока.

Местоимение some в сочетании с вещественным существительным может передавать значение части целого. В этом случае все сочетание соответствует в русском языке существительному в родительном падеже с отделительным значением:

Ex.: Give me somebread, please. - Дайте мне, пожалуйста, хлеба.

Местоимение any,определяя исчисляемое существительное во множественном числе, имеет значение «какие-то», «какие-нибудь»:

Ex.: Are there any papers in the drawer? – В ящике есть какие-нибудь бумаги (документы)?

В сочетании с неисчисляемыми существительными any передает значение «сколько-нибудь»:

Ex.: Is there anymeat on the frying-pan? – На сковороде есть мясо?

При наличии отрицания notместоимение any имеет значение «никакие» или «нисколько» и может быть заменено отрицательным местоимением nо(в последнем случае отрицательная частица not не употребляется):

Ex.: There aren't anyflowers in the vase.

There isn't anymeat on the frying-pan.

There are noflowers in the vase.

There is nomeat on the frying-pan.

Примечание. В английском языке, в отличие от русского, в одном предложении не употребляется два (или более) отрицательных члена. Ср.:

В вазе нет никаких цветов.— There are по flowers in the vase. There aren't any flowers in the vase.

Местоимения some и any перед неисчисляемыми существительными и перед существительными во множественном числе часто не переводятся на русский язык.

Местоимение some обычно употребляется в утвердительном предложении, any — в вопросительном или отрицательном.

Однако anyможет выступать и в утвердительных предложениях:

· в значении «любой»:

Ex.: I can read anyEnglish book in the original. - Я могу прочитать любую английскую книгу в оригинале.

· в условных придаточных предложениях:

Ex.: If you have anyflowers, we can decorate your room with them. – Если у тебя есть (какие-нибудь) цветы, мы можем украсить ими комнату.

Some, в свою очередь, может выступать в вопросительных предложениях, причем оно сохраняет свое основное значение «какой-нибудь», «сколько-нибудь». Различие в употреблении some и any в вопросительном предложении заключается в следующем:

Someупотребляется:

· когда ожидается утвердительный ответ на вопрос:

Ex.: Are you expecting someguests this afternoon? —
Yes. – Ты ждешь (каких-нибудь) гостей сегодня днем? – Да.

· когда высказывание представляет собой просьбу в форме вопроса:

Ex.: Will you have somemore tea? – Нехотителиещечая? (someупотребляется с неисчисляемым существительным и используется для обозначения некоторого количества)

· в специальных вопросах:

Ex.: Where can Iget somecigarettes? – Где я могу взять сигареты?

Прилагательное every в русском языке имеет значение «каждый», «каждая», «каждые».

Ex.: Every girl has a dream. – У каждой девочки есть мечта.
