When do I use the word something and anything?

You use something in affirmative sentences like “I would like something to eat”.

You use anything in negative sentences like “I don’t want anything to eat”.

@TerMinator I don't think anything has to be negative. you could say "I'm so hungry I would eat anything" for example.

@TerMinator It’s not used the same way. You can say “There is nothing in the fridge” or “There isn’t anything in the fridge”.

@Salix75 Yes, you can use it like that as well. A lot of times it’s used with negative verbs.
