    The document discusses using terms like "there is/are", "some", "any", "no", and compounds with "-one", "-body", "-thing", and "-where" to talk about presence, absence, number, and amounts of things. It provides examples of asking and answering questions using these terms, such as "Are there any people in the street?" and "There is some water in the bottle." It also explains that "some" is used in positive statements while "any" is used in questions and negative statements, and "no" can replace "not any."

    PRESENCE AND ABSENCE

    Talking about the presence, the absence, the number, the amount of things:

    What's in the fridge?

    There is milk in the fridge.

    There is some butter in the fridge.

    There are also some carrots.

    There is nothing/there isn't anything on the table.

    Is there any salad?

    There's somebody at the door.

    How many chairs are there in the room?

    There is/there are:

    There is/there are are used to say that something exists.

    - Is there a stereo in your room?


    - Yes, there is.

    Are there people in the street?

    Some, any, no and compounds with -one, -body, -thing, and -where:

    Some, any and no are quantifiers i.e. they are used to express quantities which are not specified.

    We use some in positive statements:

    There is some water in the bottle.

    In questions and negative statements, we use any:

    Are there any people in that room? No, there aren't any.

    We can replace not any with no:

    There is no water (= there isn't any water) in the bottle.

    Some, any and no are sometimes combined with -one, -body, -thing or -where to form compounds:

    Is there anything? There is something/nothing.
