incontables y contables. Any también expresa una cantidad indefinida. Su
significado puede ser algunos (as), nada, ninguno, dependiendo del contexto del
enunciado o frase. A diferencia de some, ANY se usa es oraciones negativas e
interrogativas y puede usarse también para sustantivos contables como
incontables. Ejemplo:

 One orange

 Two oranges

 One house

 Two houses

 One window

 Two windows

 One pencil
 Two pencils

 One cup

 Two cups
Los sustantivos incontables son aquellos que no se pueden contar, es decir que no
se pueden pluralizar, sólo se usan en singular.
No se puede decir:

two lemonades
three waters

para pluralizarlos se usa en su lugar some, much o a lot of. Además ten mucho
cuidado en NO usar a o an con un sustantivo incontable a coffee a bread
a chocolate
