Chinese Grammar: Expressing “some” with 有的
 
To refer to just certain members of group, you can use 有的 (yǒude). This usage is normally translated as "some" in English. It is often used multiple times in one sentence to refer to different groups.

All you need to do is put 有的 (yǒude) before the nouns there are "some of" in the sentence. If there is already some context, you can omit the subject, and the 有的 (yǒude) can just mean "some" instead of "some of something."
Structure: 有的 + (Subj.) + Predicate
Also, you aren't limited to just two 有的 (yǒude) in the sentence. You can have multiple groups doing different things, and just precede them with a 有的 (yǒude) each time.

外国人有的很有钱,有的没钱。(wàiguó rén yǒude hěn yǒuqián, yǒude méi qián) = Some foreigners are rich, but some are not.
