Some, Any

Some = a little, a few or a small number or amount

Any = one, some or all

Usually, we use some in positive (+) sentences and any in negative (-) and question (?) sentences.

We use any in a positive sentence when the real sense is negative.

• I refused to give them any money. (I did not give them any money)
• She finished the test without any difficulty. (she did not have any difficulty)

Sometimes we use some in a question, when we expect a positive YES answer. (We could say that it is not a real question, because we think we know the answer already.)

• Would you like some more tea?
• Could I have some sugar, please?

FEWER/LESS

Use fewer if you're referring to people or things in the plural (e.g. houses, newspapers, dogs, students, children). For example:

 

People these days are buying fewer newspapers.

Fewer students are opting to study science-related subjects.

Fewer than thirty children each year develop the disease.

 

 Use less when you're referring to something that can't be counted or doesn't have a plural (e.g. money, air, time, music, rain). For example:

 It's a better job but they pay you less money.

 People want to spend less time in traffic jams.

 Ironically, when I'm on tour, I listen to less music.

 

  

Less is also used with numbers when they are on their own and with expressions of measurement or time, e.g.:

 His weight fell from 18 stone to less than 12.

 Their marriage lasted less than two years.

 Heath Square is less than four miles away from Dublin city centre

On time = at the planned time; neither late nor early:

Peter wants the meeting to start exactly on time.

In time = with enough time to spare; before the last moment:

He would have died if they hadn't got him to the hospital in time.

In the end = finally, after a long time:

In the end, I got a visa for Russia.

At the end = at the point where something stops:

I think the film's a bit weak at the end.

"Miss the train" = "Miss the opportunity"

Quotation
