In these sentences, the words "some" and "any" are used to indicate indefinite quantities or to refer to unspecified people or things. Let's supply the derivatives of "some" and "any" in each sentence:

1) I know someone who can help you. - "Some" is replaced with "someone" as it refers to an unspecified person.

2) He sat at the table, but he didn’t have anything to eat. - "Any" is replaced with "anything" to indicate an unspecified thing or quantity.

3) Is there anyone here who can speak German? - "Any" is replaced with "anyone" to refer to an unspecified person.

4) Does anyone want a second helping? - "Any" is replaced with "anyone" as it refers to an unspecified person.

5) There’s nothing in the clothes basket. It’s empty. - "Some" is replaced with "nothing" to denote absence or lack of something.

6) Is there anything in the clothes basket? — No, it’s empty. - "Any" is replaced with "anything" to refer to an unspecified thing or quantity.

7) I’ve tried phoning, but every time I phone there’s nobody in. - "Some" is replaced with "nobody" to denote the absence of people.

8) I’ve prepared something for dinner which you’ll like very much. - "Some" is replaced with "something" to refer to an unspecified thing or quantity.
