Simple if all As are Bs question..

I don't study philosophy so I am sorry that my words and terms won't be familiar.
I saw this on a TV show now I am curious.
The question:
If all As are Bs
Some Bs are Cs
Therefore some As are Cs.
So the answer is "it depends on C as C is unknown".
But it seems this basically saying : If all As are Bs and some Bs are Cs is it always true that some As are Cs ?
Then that would be false.
Similar.
If all As are Bs.
not all Bs are Cs
is it possible to have A & C ?
Then this is not always true, so the answer is false ?
