Ask about sentences which you couldn’t complete and see if other groups have written something that is also true for you.
Change partner. Find more things in common with “some” and “any”, but this time without looking above. Then do the same, but flipping a coin to see if the next sentence should be with “some” (heads) or “any” (tails).
