THE GRAMMAR CORNER / SOME, ANY, A, AN, TOO MUCH, TOO MANY

Good morning everybody, today we're going to check some easy English grammar and do some exercises.

Buenos días a todo el mundo, hoy vamos a repasar algo de gramática inglesa fácil y a hacer algunos ejercicios.

***WE WILL START WITH SOME / ANY  .  Empezaremos con SOME y ANY.

SOME /  ANY: 
These two words don't have any translation in Spanish because we don't use them.  In English we write them when we don't say an exact quantity of something.  The only difference between SOME and ANY is that we write SOME in AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES and ANY in NEGATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE ones.

Estas dos palabras  en realidad no tienen traducción en español porque nosotros no utilizamos estos términos.  Se usan en Inglés cuando no decimos LA CANTIDAD EXACTA de algo.
La única diferencia entre SOME y ANY  es que SOME la utilizamos en frases AFIRMATIVAS y  ANY en frases interrogativas y negativas.

LOOK AT THESE SENTENCES
**Are there any fair people in your family?
**There are some books under your chair.
**There aren't any apples in the kitchen.
**Is there any ice cream in your fridge?
**There's some ice in the fridge.
**There isn't any money in the cupboard.

***AN, AN, THE.  /Un, uno, una, el, la, los las.
These are articles.  Estos son artículos.
**A:  un, uno, una (cuando la palabra que le sigue empieza por consonante).
**AN: un, uno, un (cuando la palabra que le sigue empieza por vocal).
**THE: el, la, los, las.  Ponemos este artículo cuando especificamos.  Si hablamos en sentido general no se pone nada.
