Some and its derivatives can be used in interrogative (?)
sentences, when you request something (help) or offer your help:
Would you like some coffee? (offer)
Do you need some help? (offering your help) Will I get some advice? (requesting for help) Can I have some information in brief, please? (request)
Any and its derivatives can be
used in affirmative (+) sentences changing the sense
Compare:
I need some help (you just
need help with smth)
I need any help (you will be
glad to receive all possible help)
Every is used with
countable singular nouns,
meaning “everyone of the
group” For example:
Every citizen should pay
taxes (all citizens as a
group) Its derivatives are:
everyone/everybody,
everything, everywhere
