1. In general, we use ‘any’ to form questions with both countable anduncountable nouns.
For example: Is there any gold in here?
Do you sell any golden pans?

2. However, we can use ‘some’ in questions in an offer or request and when we
expect a positive answer.
For example: Can I borrow some CDs, please? Would
you like to buy some petrol?
Are there some lamps we can borrow?

3. The same rules apply to the compound words formed with some and any
except that they should be followed by a noun.
For example: any CDs/ some petrol/ any gold/ any golden pans/ some lamps724. Their compound words such as someone, anyone, something, anything,somewhere, anywhere, somebody, and anybody do not need to be followed bya noun.
