Some/any
Hello everybody! I've a question today. Do we always use some before need and want? Example: Do you want something or do you want anything? Which is correct?
Top answer
There is no special relationship between want/need and some/any . Generally, we use some in affirmative sentences, and we use any in negative sentences and questions. Do you want any candy?
