any in summary

0I have gone through a lot of the old posts on the topic 01i00any02i00. This is my understanding of 01i00any02i00 usage.02br
02br
01i00Any02i00 can be followed by a plural/uncountable/singular noun.02br
02br
001. When any is used in interogative or negative form, it is usually followed by a plural/uncountable noun. Does it mean that the verb always agrees with the plural/uncountable noun if the noun is also a subject?02br
02br
00For example,02br
02br
00Do you have any 01b00kids02b00 that 01b00are02b00 older than 9 years old?02br
02br
00There 01b00aren't02b00 any good 01b00options02b00.02br

02br
002. When it is used in declarative form, it is usually followed by a singular noun.02br
02br
00Any 01b00idea02b00 01b00is02b00 a good idea => the verb agrees with the singular noun 01i00idea02i00.02br
02br
00Exceptional case.02br
02br
00If you have any 01b00comments02b00, please e-mail 01b00them02b00 to me. => the pronoun agrees with the plural noun 01i00comment02i02br

00Inchoateknowledge, just a quick check. Is this sentence correct? Just want to make sure that "kids" is the subject of the subclause "that 01b00are02b00 older than 9 years old" and not "any".0-
