yes,you´re right Paco.

I got a little bit confused but now I´m sure about the use of "any"...sometimes too much grammar makes me go nuts!

You may use "any" in a question.

Do you have any money?

Are there any banks in the area?

Any questions?


You may also use it when replying in the negative.

No, I don't have any.

Nope, there aren't any.

Nah, I haven't got any.



It's ungrammatical to use it when answering in the affirmative.
