This is the rule to ANY, SOME and NO, but the sentence " Would you like some water?" is correct. Explain why and give another example. (se precisar explique em português, mas o exemplo tem de ser em Inglês) Em português: Esta é a regra para QUALQUER, ALGUM e NÃO, mas a frase "Você gostaria de um pouco de água?" está correto. Explique por quê e dê outro exemplo. (se precisar explicar em português, mas o exemplo tem de ser em inglês)

Answer and Explanation:

The general rule states that "some" must be used in affirmative sentences. However, it is correct to use it in a question such as "Would you like some water?" The reason for that is that this question is an offer. When you offer someone something, it is okay to use "some". Let's give some other examples:

- Would you like some cake?

- Do you want some sugar with your coffee?

Note that it is also okay to use "some" when you request or ask for something, even if it is a question. For example:

- Can I have some tea, please?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
