Any
Dear friends,
what the meaninf of any?
Sometimes it means ALL, some time it means none, and so on. I am very confused about that.
Can you give my an example for each of the possible meanings?
Ciao.
Corrado

Welcome to English Forums, Iannucci-- 'Any' is an unspecified amount of a total quantity, so it can indeed be from one to all (but not none). It usually appears in negative sentences or questions. Do you have any mangos?
