Some/Any + plural vs Some/Any + singular
Hi all,
From my understanding, I always go for the structure "Some/Any + plural" (with countable nouns, of course), but sometimes I see "Some/Any + singular" out there on the Internet, articles, and lyrics of songs.
For example:
+ I could use some direction.
+ I do not have any issue with the assignments.
Consequently, it makes me quite confused.
Can you guys shed some light on the problem?
Cheers,
Vu

Hi Vthung Nothing grammatical prevents you from having a singular countable noun after some and any. It may not be very common or it may be a little unusual in some situations but there certainly isn't a rule against it. CB
