There isn’t any printing ink in the container. В контейнере нет типографской краски.
There is no printing ink in the container. В контейнере нет типографской краски.
Местоимение some употребляется в утвердительных предложениях, а также в вопросительных, в которых что-нибудь предлагается или выражается какая-нибудь просьба: Can I have some cold water? Можно мне попить холодной воды?
Местоимение any употребляется в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях, а также в утвердительных в значении «любой»: Any child knows about it. Любой ребенок знает об этом.
Подобно some, any, производные местоимения от some употребляются в утвердительных предложениях, производные местоимения от any – в вопросительных и отрицательных: Somebody (someone) is knocking at the door. Кто-то стучит в дверь.
There isn't anybody (anyone) there. Там никого нет.
Местоимение no и его производные употребляются только в отрицательных предложениях.
Местоимения somebody / someone, anybody / anyone, nobody / no one имеют два падежа: общий и притяжательный, например: There is somebody in the room. Кто-то в комнате. This is somebody’s pencil. Это чей-то карандаш.
Местоимение every – каждый, всякий и его производные: everybody / everyone – все, каждый, everything – все служат подлежащим или дополнением в предложении. Местоимение everybody имеет также притяжательный падеж: It’s everybody’s duty. Это долг каждого.
Когда everybody, everyone или everything являются подлежащим, то глагол ставится в единственном числе: Everybody (everyone) is here. Все здесь. Отрицательная форма строится следующим образом: Not everybody is here. Не все здесь.
Пример образования вопросительной формы местоимения every и его производных: Can you tell me everything? Ты можешь мне рассказать всё?
Местоимение every в сочетании с where образует наречие everywhere везде, повсюду: You can get this book everywhere. Вы можете достать эту книгу везде.
