Preparing- Some and Any Roleplays

Preparing- Some and Any Roleplays

Imagine that you have to prepare for one of the situations below with your partner. Ask each other what is already available, replying with a mix of positive and negative answers. When the answer is negative, try to think of other options. When the second option is also not possible, try to think of a third option or change plan.

- cooking

- a party

- a buffet lunch

- camping

- hiking/ trekking

- mountain climbing

- a foreign trip

- lockdown

- a survival weekend

- a desert trip

- moving out of the family home into your own flat

- swimming to a desert island from your sinking boat or plane

Do the same, but flipping a coin each time that your partner asks you if something is available to decide if the answer is positive (heads) or negative (tails). Then do the same, but flipping a coin to decide if the next question or statement will be with “some” (heads) or “any” (tails).
