Grammar

Use of 'amy' and 'some' in question form

Hi,
I happen to think we can use both 'some' and 'any' in question forms. Can you confirm my position on this?

Have you heard any (some) interesting news lately?
Do you have any (some) money with you to lend me some right now?

Hi,
Yes, these are all correct grammar.

I'd have to think for a minute to find a context in which you would ask 'Have you heard some interesting news lately?'

Would you like to suggest a suitable context?

Yes, I think I can come up with a suitable one and that is this. Please correct this if you find some mistakes. I don't know whether I should use past tenses in this type of writing.

A group of close friends is at a room talking about what has been happening to them. It just happens to be that two of them are getting married soon and they haven't told everyone in the room about it. Most

Hi,
Yes, that's fine.

With regard to tense, we oftxen use present tense when we tell a 'story' like this.

Thank you. Could I use present perfect continuous or present pefect tense for the type of writing I was dealing with?

A sentence from my writing:

A group of close friends is at a room talking about what has been happening to them.
