This document discusses the proper uses of the words "some" and "any" in different contexts. It states that "some" is used in positive clauses and with countable/uncountable nouns, while "any" is used in negative clauses and questions. It also notes exceptions for positive clauses using "any" after words like "never" or "without". Compound words with "some" and "any" like "something" can stand alone, unlike "some" and "any" which must be used with a noun. The document concludes with instructions to complete practice exercises.

8. • HOWEVER, SOME AND ANY NEED NOT STAND DIRECTLY BEFORE THE NOUN. SOMETIMES, THE NOUN
APPEARS SOMEWHERE BEFORE SOME OR ANY AND IS NOT REPEATED. SO IFYOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER
TO USE SOME OR SOMETHING FOR EXAMPLE, CHECK IF THERE IS A NOUN IN THE SENTENCE THAT YOU CAN
PLACE AFTER SOME:
I DO NOT HAVE TO BUY BREAD. RACHEL HAS ALREADY BOUGHT SOME
[BREAD].
