the word "any"
Hi, I need yes, I have many doubts because the structures of sentences in English is very different from Portuguese. 1 I'm learning using pimsleur and there they teach almost all rotary burrs with the word "any" after the word have, for example: I have any coffee I have any money you have any milk? etc ... really need to always use "Any" after have? 2 is improper not use the contraction in dialogue? I have a hard time differentiating "can and can not" among others. Please, can you help me?

We use "any" in questions and negative sentences only - for example
"Do you have any coffee?"
Negative answer "No ,I don't have any coffee".
WE cannot use any in a regular positive sentence- tin this case we use SOME for plurals/uncountables.
For example "Yes I have SOME coffee."
"Do you have any brothers" "Yes I have 2 brothers."
