1."some"(a)

Use 'some' in affirmative sentences before plural countable nouns. 'I have some friends' is a positive statement.

2."any"(b)

Use 'any' in questions. 'Do you have any questions?' is a standard question form.

3."any"(c)

Use 'any' in negative sentences. 'Isn't' makes this sentence negative, so we need 'any'.

4."some"(b)

Use 'some' in affirmative sentences. 'She bought' is a positive statement, so we use 'some' before the plural noun 'shoes'.

5."any"(c)

Use 'any' in negative sentences. 'Don't need' is negative, so we use 'any' before the uncountable noun 'help'.
