fivejedjonIf you have a question/any questions. please ask.From Mackmillan:" It's a puzzle that any intelligent child could answer."
Why is it singular? Does the conditional have anything to do with this change?

AnonymousIt's a puzzle that any intelligent child could answer.In the subject position we often use "any" in the sense of "every", so the use of "any child" is quite normal here.
Anyone can do that.
Any child can do it.
Any man who believes that must be crazy.
It's strange that any student who has tried that has failed.
