III. TEACHER BACKGROUND
A. Reference list of patterns:
1. Some/any in statements
Indefinite Adverbial
There Verb Be Negative SubjectAdjective Phrase
There ûs some water in the pitcher.
There is nût any water in the glass.
There are some mangoes in the basket.
There are nût any mangoes in the box.
Notice that some occurs only in affirmative statements and any in negative. Both can be followed
by either mass nouns or count nouns. Once the item is in the context, as water in çThereûs
some water in the pitcheré the next statement may drop water, as in çThere isnût any in the
glass.é There response, çIûd like some mangoesé may also be shortened to just, çIûd like some.é
2. Some/any in questions
Indefinite
Auxiliary Subject Going to Verb ObjectAdjective
Are you going to buy needles?
Do you have thread?
some
Did she buy sugar?
Would you like butter?
Notice that some in questions can be followed by both mass and count nouns as in statements.
It is possible to use any instead of some in questions but to avoid confusion among the children
at this early stage some is better used alone in questions. The use of some indicates that the
speaker expects an affirmative answer. Any is more indefinite and indicates that the speaker does
not know what answer to expect.
