some and any

 

Mrs Garland has bought a small house in the seaside town where she lives. She’s going to let the house to tourists in summer. But first she needs to buy some things for the house. Look at Mrs Garland’s list and say if the things she needs are in the sale.

Examples

There are some chairs in the sale.

There aren’t any electric fires.

Activity

Does your classroom have everything you need to learn English? Say what there is in your classroom or in your school or college, e.g. We’ve got some pictures on the wall, and there's a map of the USA. There aren't any travel posters. What about a cassette recorder, readers, and so on? Try to think also of things you haven’t got but think you ought to have.
