Правильным вариантом для данного предложения является some. Предложение должно выглядеть так: The boys want some ice-cream. Ниже приведено подробное объяснение правил использования слов some и any:
- Тип предложения: Основное правило английского языка гласит, что some используется в утвердительных предложениях, в то время как any — в отрицательных и вопросительных. Поскольку предложение «The boys want...» является утвердительным, следует выбрать some.
- Тип существительного: Слово «ice-cream» (мороженое) в данном контексте является неисчисляемым существительным. Оба местоимения (some и any) могут употребляться с неисчисляемыми существительными, но выбор конкретного слова все равно зависит от типа предложения.
- Значение: Использование some перед неисчисляемым существительным указывает на неопределенное количество чего-либо («некоторое количество мороженого»).
Исключения (когда any может быть в утверждении): Слово any может использоваться в утвердительных предложениях только в значении «любой», «какой угодно» (например: You can take any ice-cream you like — Ты можешь взять любое мороженое, которое тебе нравится). Однако в базовом смысле «хотеть чего-то» всегда используется some. Требуется ли вам разобрать другие примеры с неопределенными местоимениями или артиклями?
