Explanation | Any is usually used with uncountable nouns and plural countables (NOT with singular countable nouns). Compare: 'Do you have any money?' (money is an uncountable noun) 'Do you have any fifty-cent coins?' (coins is a plural countable noun) 'Do you have a fifty-cent coin?' (coin is a singular countable noun) Note, however: 'I'll accept any job I'm offered.' (= it does not matter which job) |
