Is there any difference between the sentences?

Post by Nataleexx »

Hi! I've got a question: if I use "some" in the sentence(1), it will change the meaning of it in any way? Or the sentences (1) and (2) mean more or less the same?
1) There are some dirty clothes in the basket. (some unspecified quantity, but not all of them? or all of them?)
2) There are dirty clothes in the basket. (all the clothes)
