This story happened to me a few years ago. Sitting by the window and listening "A Winter's Tale", I was sad. I didn't use to like winter, because it's bleak and uninteresting. That was the Christmas night, but my mood wasn't the same. Suddenly I heard a strange noise. Like someon's walking through trees. This interested me, and I went out from the chalet and found a stringe of inconspicuous footprints. It was particularly freezing hard, so I took warm clothes from the house and followed them. The footprints didn't even think to stop. Finally I reached their end. It was a large cavern. If the footprints didn't go into it, I would even not notice. Came into, I discovered a really weird situation - in the middle of a cave glade were a circle of big snowmen. Firstly I surprised, but then I thought - who built this? It's probably a man, whose footprints I saw during the way. I felt terrible, and hurried to get out of there. But I remember it forever - was it a winter's tale or a mysticism? Anyway, for some inexplicable reason from that time I began to like winter - except its cold

Объяснение:
В вопросах мы используем и some, и any. Мы используем some, когда говорим о человеке или вещи, зная, что они существуют, или думая, что они существуют:
Are you waiting for somebody? (I think you are waiting for somebody)
Вы ждете кого-либо?
Мы используем some в вопросах, когда предлагаем или спрашиваем что-нибудь:
Would you like something to eat? (there is something to eat)
Вы хотели бы что-нибудь поесть?
Can I have some sugar, please? (there is probably some sugar I can have)
Можно мне немного сахара
Но в большинстве вопросов мы используем any. Мы не знаем существует ли человек или вещь:
‘Have you got any luggage?’ ‘No, I haven’t.’
‘У вас есть багаж?’ ‘Нет.’
I can’t find my bag. Has anybody seen it?
Я не могу найти свою сумку. Кто-нибудь видел её?
C
Мы часто используем any после if:
If there are any letters for me, can you send them on to this address?
Если ко мне будут (какие-нибудь) письма, можете отправить их на этот адрес?
If anyone has any questions, I’ll be pleased to answer them.
Если у кого-нибудь есть какие-либо вопросы, я с радостью на них отвечу.
Let me know if you need anything.
Сообщите (дайте мне знать), если вам что-нибудь понадобится.
В следующих предложениях нет if, но смысл такой же:
I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused. (= if I have caused any trouble)
Я извиняюсь за какие-либо причиненные мною проблемы (= если я причинил какие-либо проблемы)
Anyone who wants to do the exam must tell me by Friday. (= if there is anyone)
Все, кто хочет сдать экзамен, должны сообщить мне до пятницы. (= если (есть) кто-нибудь)
D
Мы также используем any в значении ‘не важно какой; любой’:
You can take any bus. They all go to the centre. (= не важно в какой автобус вы сядете)
‘Sing a song.’ ‘Which song shall I sing?’ ‘Any song. I don’t mind.’ (= любую песню)
Come and see me any time you want.
‘Let’s go out somewhere.’ ‘Where shall we go?’ ‘Anywhere. (Куда угодно.) I just want to go out.’
We left the door unlocked. Anybody could have come in. (Кто угодно мой зайти.)
Сравните something и anything:
A: I’m hungry. I want something to eat. (что-нибудь)
B: What would you like?
A: I don’t mind. Anything. (Всё, что угодно.) (= it doesn’t matter what)
E
Somebody/someone/anybody/anyone – слова в единственном числе:
Someone is here to see you.
Здесь кто-то хочет тебя видеть.
Но мы часто используем they/them/their после этих слов:
Someone has forgotten their umbrella. (= his or her umbrella)
Кто-то забыл свой зонт. (= его или её зонт)
If anybody wants to leave early, they can. (= he or she can)
Если кто-нибудь хочет уйти пораньше, вы можете это сделать. (= он или она может)
