E. Використання Some з множинними злічуваними іменниками

Ми використовуємо some у двох випадках:

Some friends of mine are coming to stay at the weekend. (Деякі мої друзі приїдуть на вихідні.)

Іноді можна використовувати або з, або без some:
I need (some) new clothes. (Мені потрібен новий одяг.)
The room was empty apart from a table and (some) chairs. (У кімнаті не було нічого, крім столу та кількох стільців.)

Але не використовуємо some, коли говоримо про речі загалом:
