Esercizio 1
Icarus: Excuse me, Robert, do you have staples left?
Bob: Icarus, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Bob.
Icarus: Excuse me, Bob, but my staples are gone. I was hoping to borrow from you.
Bob: Sure thing, Quincy. Here's a whole box.
Bob: Icarus, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Bob.
Icarus: Excuse me, Bob, but my staples are gone. I was hoping to borrow from you.
Bob: Sure thing, Quincy. Here's a whole box.
Icarus: Excuse me, Robert, do you have any 1 staples left?
Bob: Icarus, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Bob.
Icarus: Excuse me, Bob, but all 2 my staples are gone. I was hoping to borrow some 3 from you.
Bob: Sure thing, Quincy. Here's a whole box.
Bob: Icarus, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Bob.
Icarus: Excuse me, Bob, but all 2 my staples are gone. I was hoping to borrow some 3 from you.
Bob: Sure thing, Quincy. Here's a whole box.
1 any: 'Any' is primarily used in negative or interrogative constructions (such as this one). Here 'any' indicates staples which Bob may or may not have. We use 'any' in questions when we are unsure of the possible response.
1 none: 'None' is grammatically incorrect and does not make any sense here. 'None' is not usually used in interrogative constructions such as this one.
1 all: 'All' cannot be used immediately before the noun 'staples' in this sentence. If Icarus and Bob both knew what specific staples were being referred to, Icarus could say 'all the staples' here, or more naturally, 'all your staples'. However, Icarus is more likely to ask Bob if he has 'any staples' left here, because Icarus doesn't appear to know whether Bob has staples or not.
2 all: 'All' is the best choice here. It indicates that Icarus has 'no more staples' because 'all' his staples are used or gone. 'All' represents the total number of staples. Note that 'all' can be followed by the preposition 'of' OR directly by a subject or object, as it is in this case. For example: Please transfer all my calls, or please transfer all of my calls.
2 some: 'Some' does not belong in this construction. In cases where 'some' indicates an amount or quantity of something, it is almost always followed by the preposition 'of'. For example Icarus might say, 'some of my staples are gone'. Note that this is just a general rule, and that 'some' can be followed by nouns (usually uncountable) without the preposition 'of': some time, some beer, some relief.
2 any: 'Any' is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. 'Any' is usually used in interrogative or negative constructions to indicate the 'absence' of something. It is the negative equivalent of 'some'.
3 some: Because the sentence is affirmative, 'some' is the appropriate word to describe a quantity of staples. 'Some' is actually working as a pronoun to replace the noun 'staples', introduced in the previous clause of the sentence.
3 any: 'Any' is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. 'Any' is usually used in interrogative or negative constructions to indicate the 'absence' of something. It is the negative equivalent of 'some'.
3 all: 'All' does not make sense here because it cannot precede the preposition 'from' in this construction. To borrow 'all from you' is grammatically incorrect. However, we could say 'I need to borrow all of your staples'.

This sentence uses the term "staple" correctly. A "staple" is a basic or principal element. To say that the fishing industry is a staple of the Canadian economy means that fishing is one of the major industries in Canada, and that it represents one of their main sources of revenue. In this sentence, "staple" is synonymous with "a basic and necessary commodity". Another example: Wine is a staple export of France. Note that a "staple" is also a piece of bent wire used to attach sheets of paper together.
This sentence uses the term "staple" correctly. A "staple" can be a basic or principal topic, such as the theme of a conference or meeting. This sentence indicates that one of the major topics of discussion at a conference will be the "nuclear weapons". Note that a "staple" is also a piece of bent wire used to attach sheets of paper together.
This sentence uses the term "staple" incorrectly. The term "staple" doesn't necessarily refer to food, and certainly doesn't describe a type of meat, which a vegetarian would want to avoid!
This sentence uses the term "staple" correctly, in a similar way as Rupert uses the term in his report. A "staple" is a basic or principal element, such as rice in Asian diets. In this sentence, "staple" is synonymous with "basic" or "principal". Note that a "staple" is also a piece of bent wire used to attach sheets of paper together.
This sentence uses the term "staple" incorrectly. Although a "staple" often refers to a principal or important item, the term cannot describe a memorable or exciting scene from a film. The best way to express this idea would be to say, "The highlight of the film was the scene where Spiderman...". On the other hand, we might say, "The staple of many Fellini films is the use of dream and fantasy sequences."
