Question

Your friends are discussing pronouns on the bus. Henrietta insists that "any" is always a plural indefinite pronoun. Felecia argues that "any" is always a singular indefinite pronoun. Respond to both of your friends to give them a clearer understanding of this indefinite pronoun, using at least two examples to help them.

Answer 1

The word 'any' is used to refer to one OR some of a thing or number of things, no matter how much or many -- so, both Henrietta and Felecia are correct in that respect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henrietta: "Are there any students who have been sent to detention?"

Felecia: "Any coin I find on the ground is a coin worth picking up."
