Some, any, much, many, (a) few, (a) little
Some и any переводятся «немного, несколько». Но чаще всего они совсем не переводятся в русском предложении. Они указывают на небольшое количество чего-то. Эти слова употребляются с исчисляемыми и с неисчисляемыми существительными.
— Some употребляется в утвердительных предложениях:
I have some work for you.
— Some употребляется в утверждениях, предложениях, просьбах:
Give me some milk, please.
Shall I buy some juce?
Give me some water, please.
— Any используется в отрицательных и вопросительных предложениях, его можно перевести «какой-либо, какой-то»:
Do you have any questions?
I don't hear any sounds.
Much и many переводятся как «много» и указывают на большое количество чего-либо.
— Much употребляется с неисчисляемыми существительными (которые мы не можем посчитать):
Much juce, much sugar (мы не можем посчитать сок, так как это жидкость, сок можно посчитать только в стаканах; сахар мы тоже не можем посчитать, так как его по крупинкам никто считать не будет).
— Many употребляется с исчисляемыми существительными.
Many cookies, many cats, many men.
Few и little означают «мало».
— Little употребляем с неисчисляемыми существительными (которые нельзя посчитать):
We have little water left.
