Any + singular noun

Any is usually used with plural or uncountable nouns in negative sentences and questions, but can it be used with singular nouns in negative sentences and questions?

Some say it can but some say it is incorrect.

I am really confused about it.

Please help me.

I am appreciated of your help.

What you wrote above is correct: 'any' is usually for plurals and uncountables. In your example sentence, we would simply use 'a': Is there a car at your house?

The conversation might go like this:

P: Can you pick me up? You have a car, don't you?

Q: No, sorry. There isn't a car at my house.
P: But I thought you told me you had one...or your dad had one. Wasn't there a blue Chevy in your garage last weekend?

Q: No! There isn't any car at my house! I can't pick you up!
