السؤال : Question
Do any of your friends speak Spanish ?X
لماذا استخدمنا do ولم نستخدم Does ؟
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
الجواب : The answer
لماذا استخدمنا Do وليس Does في الجملة التالية:
Do any of your friends speak Spanish?X
حتى نجيب على السؤال يجب ان نعرف معنى anyكضمير pronoun
تقول كتب اللغة بأن any تأتي بمعنى some
وتأتي بمعنى anyone
وبناء على هذا المعنى يجوز الوجهان في الجملة
الاول: Do any of your friends speak spanish?X
و تعني: Do some of your friends speak spanish?X
الثاني : Does any of your friends speak Spanish?X
و تعني: Does anyone of your friends speak Spanish?X
للتوضيح أكثر باللغة الانجليزية :
When any of is followed by a countable plural noun, the verb can be in either singular or plural form, but a singular verb is more common in a formal style.X
If any of your friends is/are interested, let me know
Does/Do any of your friends speak Spanish?X
