What is the difference between the two (any/ some) in the sentence.
If I had (any/ some) money, I would buy that book.
1) 'Any' and 'some' have exactly the same meaning in the sentence above.
2) 'Any' and 'some' have almost the same meaning in the sentence above.
3) 'Any' and 'some' have a little bit different meaning in the sentence above.
Be specific:
4) 'Any' and 'some' have totally different meaning in the sentence above.

The use of some expresses a more positive attitude than any.
If I had any money.... but I don't.
If I had some money.... how can I get some money?
The same is true with little and a little.
I have little money. I can't...
I have a little money. I can...

Thank you for your message.
So.... you mean both 'any' and 'some' can be used but with different meanings, right?
