   We use some before nouns to refer to indefinite quantities. Although the quantity is not important or not defined, using some implies a limited quantity: Can you get me some milk? (The quantity isn’t specified. Some suggests a normal amount, not an unlimited amount. Compare: Can you get me five litres of milk?) I’ve got some questions for you.
