Any Question or Any Questions? Which is correct?

Vocabulary / By

“Any Questions” is much more common in English and is used to allow more than one question to be asked. “Any question” is also possible(though less common) and limits the choice of questions to one. 

I don’t know any question that could be asked that would solve this problem. 

Do you have any questions?

“Any” is usually used in the negative or in questions and you can learn more about how to use “any” here. 

Any Questions

“Any Questions” is often asked at the end of a speech and is short for “do you have any questions?” or “Are there any questions?”.

The word “any” is usually followed by a plural noun because “any” means that we have no objects. 

I don’t have any cars.

I don’t have any dogs.

In the case of “Do you have any questions?”, we don’t know if one or more questions exist. If we used “any question” in this situation, that would mean that there is only one question that could be asked. 

Any Question

We use “any question” when there is a specific question that the speaker has in mind. It is not to be used after a presentation when you want to know if there are questions from the audience.

Example

If I ask you any question, you will answer it for me.

In the example above, you may ask one of many questions and because it is only one question, “question” is singular. 

Example

I don’t think there was any question that he was the best player on the pitch. 

In this example, “any question” means that “no one could question”.

“Any questions let me know” is a phrase that people use when they are finishing a conversation and want to tell the other person that they are invited to ask questions if they have any doubts. 

“Any questions let me know” is often used in the context of someone helping someone(in a situation like training) and can be used at the beginning or at the end of the conversation.

If you need to reply to “Any questions let me know” you can say “ok, I will” or “great, will do”.

Note that “is there any question” usually forms part of a larger sentence.
