Should we add 's'

Hi,

I am very confuse about these and I hope sir/miss can give me some ideas which one is the right.

- When I us if, shall I use past tense or present
e.g :
if he finds
or
if he found

- shall I add s after any?
e.g :
find any staffs against

or
find any staff againsts

Please advise. Thank you very much.

Regards,
Geo

Hello, Geo. These are correct: If he finds any money, he will give me half. (= He is probably looking ) If he found any money, he would give me half.
