How to use ANY, ANYONE, and ANY ONE

We can say “any pens” but can we say “any pen”?
And what’s the difference between “anyone” and “any one”?
I'm Teacher Mike, and I'm an English teacher from the United States. In this video, I explain how to use "any" as well as the difference between "anyone" and "any one".

Thank you Mr Mike for your efforts that you do for ours. Best regards from Algeria.

[@claudiabautista4165]

Thanks Mike for such a quick response so let's say that whenever we offer something we should assume the person will say yes. :) I know that that's the subtle diferrence between: need some help OR need any help for ex. but i'd never thought of using ANY when makiong an offer or when I say: Can i have some cookies? (rather than : any..cause we assume that the other person will accept the request..) anyway I'm an English teacher and that's what we teach in our classes following the content of updated books..we use the StartUp series and in level 1 in the unit where they explain the difference between some and any in questions they say that they are generally used interchabeably with the exception of when we make an offer or request. Thank you again.I'v watched your video about the difference between in school/in the street and at school/on the street and I learned something new: I'd always thought that in school or in the street was wrong. Thanks again!

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

"Can I...?" is not an offer.😉 In that case,"any" means "one or more", and "some" means "two or more". Howeve, asking for cookies, "any" is unusual. It would be either "a cookie" (asking for one) or "some cookies" asking for (more than one).

[@rhea3234]

Wow, your lessons are so damn useful, I mean very useful and it's quite suitable for English learners as well. And your method of teaching helps a lot to make it much easier for us to understand. Considering that you speak clearly and gently. I must say we can't thank you enough. ❤🙂

[@claudiabautista4165]

Hi! I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and I find them very informative! Just one thing: I've learned than in questions some/any are usually used interchangeably with a little difference in meaning..like ..need some help? (You expect a "yes" answer") OR Need any help? yes..but my confusion arises 'cause I've learned tha when making an offer or a request you should always use some: Can I have some coffe? OR Would you like some coffee? Now I'm a little bit confused when you say you can use SOME or ANY when making an offer.

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Hi and thanks! It sounds like you understand the situation correctly. The difference is basically that we are more likely to use SOME when we think the answer is yes and ANY when it's a real question/we don't know. So you don't have to use SOME when making an offer, but if you think they're going to accept your offer, SOME is the more natural choice.

[@cliphalong]

Hi Mike talking about movie. which one is correct? 1. Have you seen any things good lately? 2. Have you seen anything good lately?

[@gilbertopadron7785]

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

No. This is just a channel, not a business.

Can I have a cookie or some cookies is a request not an offer..i'm sorry..I made a mistake.
