해설:

Any and some are both determiners. They are used to talk about indefinite quantities or numbers, when the exact quantity or number is not important. As a general rule we use ‘some’ for positive statements, and ‘any’ for questions and negative statements,

 

For example:-

 

I asked the barman if he could get me some sparkling water. I said, "Excuse me, have you got any sparkling water?" Unfortunately they didn't have any.

 

!Note - You will sometimes see some in questions and any in positive statements. When making an offer, or a request, in order to encourage the person to say "Yes", you can use ‘some’ in a question:

 

For example: Would you mind fetching some gummy bears while you're at the shops?

*gummy bear: 곰을 닮은 잴리형 과자

 

You can also use any in a positive statement if it comes after a word whose meaning is negative or limiting:

 

For example:-

A. She gave me some bad advice.

B. Really? She rarely gives any bad advice.
