Our new ESL Lesson Plan within the Nouns & Articles Curriculum helps your students understand how to use some and any in a sentence. This is a robust lesson plan with clear descriptions, examples, and practice opportunities.

When should you teach the Some and Any lesson?

The lesson suits CEFR A2 (WIDA: Emerging) students and can be taught to children, teenagers, and adults. Some recommended prerequisites to this lesson are the use of a/an, singular/plural regular nouns, and countable and uncountable nouns.

How to teach this lesson about Some and Any

This lesson goes over:

• the use of some in positive sentences and any in negative sentences
• how to use any in questions
• how to use some in offers and requests

Students will have plenty of opportunities to practice through fill-in-the-blanks questions, matching exercises, and by creating their own sentences.

Before you teach, keep in mind: you can use some and any with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns, but not with singular countable nouns (a/an). You can access more helpful teacher notes like this for free by signing up for a free Off2Class account.
