Some- vs Any-

Switching tenses

Conversations about experiences or the recent past often begin in the present perfect (with a general question or some news) and then change to a simple past to ask for or give specific details, for example: Person A: Have you ever been to Oaxaca? Person B: Yes, I have! It was amazing. Person A: Oh, really? When did you go? Person B: I went last summer, in July.
