Some and Any

Some in affirmative sentences implies a specific type, or form. For example, consider the following sentence:

I have some friends.

There are some nice people in Alaska.

The only time some is used in a question is when an offer is being made, or there is a request for something. For example:

Would you like some help?

Could I have some more time?

Any is used when implying nothing specific in conditional or negative sentences and questions. For example:

I do not want any help.

I did not have any time.

Any also describes an indefinite or an incomplete quantity when the speaker can not, or does not need or want to specify a number or an exact amount. For example:

He does not have any friends on the team.
