#1 07-Nov-2012, 16:06DO you want anything/ something to drink?
1. Do you want anything to drink?
2. Do you want something to drink?
I think we should put 'something' not 'anything' in case of offering some food.
Then, is 1 a wrong sentence?Last edited by wotcha; 07-Nov-2012 at 17:51.

Whichever question you ask, the answers will be the same: 'Yes, please' or 'No, thanks'.

Note that one 'to' is enough, when it's not about doing exercise Originally Posted by wotcha
