Look at the following: Guarda quanto segue:	Italian L'italiano	Correct English L'inglese corretto
COUNTABLE NOUNS
There is an/the apple. (Singular - Correct)	C'è una/la mela.
There are apples. Sbagliato.	Ci sono delle mele.	There are some apples. Correct.
There aren't apples. Sbagliato.	Non ci sono mele.	There aren't any apples. Correct.
Are there apples? Sbagliato.	Ci sono delle mele?	Are there any apples? Correct
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
There is bread. Sbagliato.	C'è pane.	There is some bread. Correct.
There isn't bread. Sbagliato.	Non c'è pane.	There isn't any bread. Correct.
Is there bread? Sbagliato.	C'è pane?	Is there any bread? Correct.

Important Note:

You use 'some' and 'any' before uncountable nouns, example: bread, water, pasta (if you are not using 'the' - the definate article). You also use 'some' and 'any' with plural countable nouns. You generally use 'some' in positive sentences. You generally use 'any' in negative and interrogative sentences.

Si usa 'some' e 'any' prima di un nome che non si può contare, esempio: pane, acqua, pasta aschiutta (se non usi l'articolo 'the'). Si usa 'some' e 'any' anche prima dei nomi al plurale contabili. Generalmente si usa 'some' in frasi affermative e 'any' in frasi negativi e interrogativi.

Exception: If you are asking for something or offering something to someone something, use 'some' - even though it's interrogative. Examples: Would you like some coffee? Do you want some pizza? Can I have some soup please?.

Eccezione: Se chiedi qualcosa o offri qualcosa a qualcuno, si usa 'some' anche se è un interrogativa. Esempi: Would you like some coffee? Do you want some pizza? Can I have some soup please?

Put SOME or ANY in these sentences.
