常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Anything"?Which "Anything" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I don't know anything about it.
✓I don't know anything about it.
在否定句中，'anything' 是正確的。學習者有時會誤以為否定句要用 'nothing' 而寫成 'I know nothing about it'，雖然語法上沒錯，但 'I don't know anything...' 在口語中更常見、自然。此處強調的是不要誤解 'anything' 不能在否定句中使用。
×I want to buy anything for dinner.
✓I want to buy something for dinner.
在肯定句中，表示「某物」通常用 'something'。'Anything' 在肯定句中通常用於表示「任何事物」，帶有「無論什麼」的含義，例如 'I'll eat anything.'（我什麼都吃）。表達「我想買點東西（某樣東西）做晚餐」應用 'something'。
×Anything in this store is expensive.
✓Everything in this store is expensive.
'Everything' 指「所有事物、每樣東西」，強調全部。'Anything' 指「任何事物」，常用於疑問、否定或條件句，或用於強調「無論哪一個」。此句想表達「店裡每樣東西都貴」，是陳述全部，應用 'everything'。
×Anything are possible if you try.
✓Anything is possible if you try.
'Anything' 是不定代名詞，視為單數，後接動詞必須用單數形式 (is, does, has, etc.)。
×Would you like something to drink? (當預期對方回答 'No' 時)
✓Would you like anything to drink?
在疑問句中，如果說話者預期或可接受否定回答（例如對方可能不想喝任何東西），或只是禮貌性地泛問，常用 'anything'。用 'something' 則暗示說話者預期或希望一個肯定的回答。例如服務生問顧客通常用 'anything' 更為禮貌、開放。
×Else anything?
✓Anything else?
'Else' 作為副詞，修飾不定代名詞如 'anything', 'something', 'nothing' 時，必須放在其後。這是固定的詞序。
