	Conchita57  +  344071 Tue, 27 Mar 07 01:38 PM No, the second sentence isn't good English, I'm afraid.  If you meant 'Do you have any books', then it's fine. The first sentence is grammatically correct, although 'any' is normally followed by a plural noun.  Also, the sentence seems a bit unlikely, as it refers to one book only -- you're suggesting that someone might have only one book.

	Kooyeen  +  344140 Tue, 27 Mar 07 04:16 PM Hi guys, sorry for my lame question, but since we are talking about "any", I was wondering: you say "Do you have any books?" but shoud I say "Have you found the definition in any books?" or "...any book?"

Thank you Here 'any' has the sense of 'it doesn't matter which' or 'whatever', so I'd suggest you say: 'Have you found the definition in any book?'. Conchita57
