Exercise 3. Write a, some or any to complete these sentences:

1- A is used with singular countable nouns.

Ex: I'm waiting for a bus.

2- Some is used in positive sentences

Ex: Some people arrived.

3- Any is used like some, but in negative sentences ansd questions.

Ex: Did any people arrive?

4- Some is used in offers.

Ex: Would you like some tea?

I'm afraid I did some mistakes because I used SOME in some interrogative sentences as: did you bring some money? and did you buy SOME milk? It seems that the use of ANY would be the correct answer.

In the case of coffee I put A: would you like A coffee? it doesn't sound well with SOME but I'm not sure A is correct ( but I'm only offering one coffee)

Thanks for the exercices. Even in things that look easy you can find "gold in your mine"
