Description

Articles
When referring to a countable as having one thing we use a or an before a noun.
He has a book.
She has an orange.
Use “a” before singular nouns whose initial syllable is a consonant. (Some words are prefixed with a vowel, but pronounced as a consonant would use “a”)

a book, a university
a useful thing

European
a one- eyed man

Use “an” before a noun with a vowel sound. (Some words are preceded by a consonant but don’t pronounce that consonant, then use “an”)
 
an orange, an umbrella
an hour, an honest man

some
Some is used with both countable and uncountable nouns:

Uncountable: There is some water in the jar.
Countable : Some students in my school like volleyball.

Any is used in question and negative sentence.
Affirmative: There is some water in the jar.
Negative: There isn’t any water in the jar.
Question: Is there any water in the jar?
