-In general, some (somebody, someone, something) is used in positive sentences:
I bought some flowers,
and any in negative and interrogative sentences:
I didn't buy any flowers / Have you got any luggage?
-But in questions, when we expect the answer is yes, we use some:
What's wrong? Have you got something in your eye?
-Also when we offer things:
Would you like something to drink?
-And when we ask for things:
Can I have some sugar, please?
-In affirmative sentences any can be used with the meaning of "it doesn't matter which":
You can catch any bus. They all go to the centre.
-Compare:
-I'm starving. I want something to eat.
-OK, what do you want?
-Anything.
