Hi,

Do the questions have to start with "Do" and not 'Does'. I looked up Michael Swan's Practical English Usage and in it, it noted that when any of is followed by a plural subject, the verb can be singular or plural and in formal situations, the singular verb in more common.

Does it only relate to the main verb?

Is this a good sentence?

Do any of you know

You could say: "Does anyone know...."

Thank you. So, 'Does any of you' is incorrect and has to be 'Do any of you'?
