What type of speech is some?

"Some" is not a type of speech. It is a determiner, specifically a partitive determiner.

Here's why:

* Determiners are words that come before nouns to specify which noun is being referred to. They include articles (a, an, the), possessive adjectives (my, your, his), demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those), quantifiers (some, any, many, few), and numbers.

* Partitive determiners indicate a portion or part of something. Examples include "some," "any," "half," "most," and "a lot of."

Examples:

* "I want some ice cream." (Some specifies a portion of ice cream)

* "Do you have any questions?" (Any specifies an unspecified quantity of questions)
