Some and any can be used with uncountable nouns (rice, water, coffee, milk, fruit, apple juice,

money, electricity, music,…) and plural countable nouns (bananas, apples, photographs, songs,
cups, books, batteries, friends…).
We usually use some in affirmative sentences and any in questions and negative sentences.
Examples:
I’ve got some work to do.
Have you got any friends?
He doesn’t have any books.
We use some in questions when we offer or ask for things.
Example:
Can I have some sugar, please?
No is used with a verb in the affirmative instead of not any.
Example:
There are no flowers in the garden.
