Which one is correct?anyone know or anyone knows.

Clive · Accepted Answer

Please supply complete sentences as examples of how you want to use these words

GPY · Answer

Most probably you want "anyone knows". However, the words "anyone know" can validly appear together in certain contexts, so the full sentence would be useful.

I know that the correct form in a sentence would be: does anyone know? If anyone knows what to do please advice me.

Please confirm the above.

But if I simply what asking a question and want to write as a short phrase, such as What is the best way to gain muscle? Anyone know or knows?

Which is correct in that case?

Clive · Answer

Anyone know?

But this is casual, spoken English. A short form of 'Does anyone know?'

Yes, that is what I was wondering about, in casual English. So it should also be the same as in 'does anyone know'. Anyone know is correct and not know?

In that case a correct way to ask your original question would be:

Which one is correct?

"Anyone know?" or "Anyone knows?"

Yes, that is my question. So which is correct now?

Clive · Answer

Anyone know is correct and not know?

Sorry, I don't understand this question.

Anonymous · Answer

I am sorry. I meant that 'anyone know' is the correct one, and not 'knows'. Right?

Clive · Answer

Yes.
Casual speech, as I said earlier.
