	Grammar Geek  +  674348 Tue, 17 Feb 09 07:40 PM Has is used ONLY with third person singular: he, she, it. I have, you have, we have, they have, he has. In normal speech, "anybody" would take the third person singular: If anyone has a converter, could you ... However, as CB says in the post above yours, once you have a form of "to do" ("Does anybody..."), you use the base form of the verb: have. He swims. Does he swim? He has it. Does he have it? She has one. Did she always have it? Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member 18,775 Barbara, who answers in American English. Animals, Speaking, Speeches

And when plural, "Does anybody has pdf converters?"  I'm confused. ” You need to review this.  You've got the wrong idea about how it works. anybody is always treated as a singular, and that's the word you have to make agreement with. It's got nothing to do with converter and converters because those aren't the subjects of the sentence. does always goes with anybody.  And if you are using does, you can't use has with it.
