Some or any?
|
|
Hi everyone!
I have a question, I �m sure you can help me.
I �m not sure if you should say:
I don �t think we �ve got some.
or
I don �t think we �ve got any.
The negative is in the first part of the sentence.
Thanks a lot in advance  |

She �s right, but it �s not the best way to say it.
"I don �t think we have any" is better than "got any". It flows and sounds better.

Yes, in British English it would definitely be �got any �.
