English-Russian dictionary V.K. Müller

As you probably know, a pronoun is a part of speech that indicates an object or its belonging and quality, but does not name it. English pronouns are divided into, possessive, indefinite, interrogative, reflexive,. The pronouns considered in this post are indefinite, of which there are quite a few in the English language, but in this post we will focus on some, any, no ... Indefinite pronoun no some also call it a negative pronoun. The words some, any, no are translated into Russian as follows:

Some - some, some, some (some), some, some
Any - some, some, some, any
No - no, not at all

The indefinite pronouns some and any, as well as their derivatives, denoting an indefinite quantity or quality of something, can be applied to various nouns, regardless of their number.

Google shortcode

For example:

She has some problems - she has some problems
May I take some sugar? - can I get some sugar?
Has he any relatives? - does he have any relatives?
I can meet you any time you wish - I can meet you any time

To learn how to use some, any correctly in your speech and writing, you need to remember the following simple rules.

Pronoun some

Indefinite pronoun some mostly used in affirmative sentences.

There is some water in the cup - there is some water in the cup
There is some person in the hall - there is some person in the hall
I have some plums - I have some plums

In interrogative sentences some is used only in two cases: if we offer something to someone and if we ask for something.

Would you like some chocolate? - Would you like some chocolate?
Can I have some salt, please? - Can I have some salt, please?

Word some is translated into Russian in different ways, depending on which nouns it is combined with. In combination with countable nouns in the singular, we translate some as “some”, if the countable nouns are in the plural, then “several”, and if some is used with uncountable nouns, then it can be translated into Russian as “ a little ”or not, depending on the context.

There is some book on the desk. Is it yours? “There's a book on the table. Is this yours?
I have some pens, I can give you one. - I have several pens, I can give you one.
There is some milk in the bottle, but not much. - There is milk in the bottle, but not much.
Take two eggs and some flour. - Take 2 eggs and some flour.

Pronoun any

Indefinite pronoun any performs functions some in interrogative and negative sentences.

Any can be used in an affirmative sentence, but in such cases its meaning will be “ any, any, any ».

Any person wants to be happy - any person wants happiness
You may call me any time - you can call me anytime

Pronoun no

Regarding negative or indefinite pronouns no, it can be combined with any nouns, regardless of their number, if it appears in a negative sentence as a definition, and denotes lack of anything:

There are no mistakes in your dictation - there are (no) mistakes in your dictation
I have no problems - I have no problems

Please note that negation can be expressed either by the combination " not any"Or the pronoun" no«: There is not anybody in the street - There is nobody in the street.

As you can see, everything is pretty simple. You just need to remember simple rules, and your speech will become more literate.

A pronoun is a word that indicates an object or quality of an object, but does not directly name it. Today we will look at indefinite pronouns ( indefinite pronouns) some, any, no in English.

Rules for using some, any, no

Before Considering Use Cases some, any, no, let's find out the translation of these words.

Some- some, some, some, some.
Any is translated in the same way, and can also be translated as "any".
No.- no, not at all.

The general rule of thumb for these pronouns is: some, any, no must come before the noun they define. In this function, they resemble articles ( a / an and the), which are also used before the noun. Let's take a look at the table.

Offer	Example	Countable	Uncountable
+	We need	an (some) apple. some apples.	some rice. some milk.
–	We don’t need	a (any) tomato. any tomatoes.	any rice. any sugar.
?	Do we need	a (any) tomato? any tomatoes?	any rice? any sugar?

It is important to remember that it is better not to leave a noun unaccompanied by a pronoun or article. And now - to the rules of use some, any, no in English.

Pronoun some used in affirmative sentences. But it can also be found in interrogative sentences when it comes to a request or an offer to do something for someone.

Note that with words in the singular some translated as "some" ( some boy- some boy), with the same plural nouns - "several" ( some people- several people), but with uncountable nouns - "a little" ( some sugar- a little sugar).
Pronoun any used in interrogative and negative sentences instead of some and means "any, any, no".

When we talk about people ( people), things ( things), places ( places), we can add some, any, no and get new words. Let's look at the table to find out which words we can add these pronouns to.

People People	Somebody, someone- someone, someone, someone, someone	Anybody, anyone- anyone, no one, anyone, anyone, anyone	Nobody, no one- nobody, nobody
Things Things	Something- something, something, something	Anything- anything	Nothing- nothing, nothing
Places Locations	Somewhere- somewhere, somewhere, somewhere	Anywhere- anywhere, anywhere, anywhere	Nowhere- nowhere, nowhere

And a few more rules worth paying attention to.
