people will do anything to see a free show.这句子为什么用anything,肯定句不是应用something吗?
您要看句子要表达的意思.
这句话要表达的是：为了看到免费的表演,人们将会做出任何事情.（字面理解）
所以,要用 anything
如果在这里用something,句子的意思就变了,是人们将会做一些特定的事情,这些事情是可以预料的,是一定发生的.
希望能够帮助到您.

是的，这里anything表示任何事情，这时候那个“肯定句用some, 否定句疑问句用any”的规则就不管用了

anything意为任何事情，可用于否定句中而something意为一些事情，一般不用于否定，但觉不是anything只能用于否定句中，它是任何事的意思，有时需要看句子要表达的意思，判断是用something 还是anything

anything在这里指任何事情，something只是一些事情的意思。如果用something的话，句意就变了啊。
