If using "anyone of you" as a subject, should I use "is" or "are" as the following verb?

Question

"was" (or should I use "were"?) anyone of you asked this kind of question before?

Answer 1

These indefinite pronouns are all treated as singular and take the singular form of the verb:



anyone, everyone, everybody, someone, anybody



Think "any single one." Still your question is worded awkwardly. A better way would be as follows: Has any one of you been asked this kind of question before?



Note the difference between "anyone" and "any one" as well:

"I didn't ask anyone to join me." vs. " I didn't ask any one of you to join me."

Answer 2

the following verb should be is unless you write the sentence in a different way and then it would be are. The other verb you could use that would be better than is would be were. It all depends on the subject of the sentence. You are pretty but not you is pretty. The child was 7 years old but not The child were 7 years old. Hopefully that helped you understand verbs a little better.

Answer 3

It would probably be more correct to write "any one of you" rather than "anyone". When you see that the subject is singular ("one") then it follows that the verb must be singular ("is" or "was"). The combined spelling of "any one" as "anyone" is common but incorrect in this context. Other common spelling mistakes include "a lot" being spelt "alot" as in "he has a lot of money". Another common spelling mistake teachers see is "I should of gone to class" instead of the correct "I should have gone to class". Students are typing what they hear, not the correct grammar in these cases.

Answer 4

I were in Angels Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Petco Park and inspite of the call is of that sauna in Miami in pink Sox equipment. anybody treats you with understand/ignores you, except the yank followers. there is only too a lot historic previous there. It makes it relaxing. As on your experience, i ought to by no skill comprehend why a Yankee fan would seem at Fenway for a pink Sox--Tigers sport in Yankee equipment. placed on Tiger equipment for Heaven's sake. of route you'd be the most loathed man or woman contained in the park. actually donning a Yankee hat contained in the city of Boston isn't the brightest of strikes as a ordinary count number.

Answer 5

Your question should be :

'Did any one (NOT anyone) of us ask this kind of question before?'

or

'Has any one (NOT anyone) of us asked this kind of question before?'



1a. Use ANY ONE of things and of persons when one has a numerical sense : 'Which pen do you want?' - 'ANY ONE will do.'

1b. At all other times use ANYONE of persons : 'Is ANYONE there?'

2a. ANYONE is singular and normally takes a singular verb and is referred to by a singular pronoun : 'Has ANYONE a book HE can lend me?'

2b. When ANYONE has the force of all, without exception, the singular would sound out of keeping and the plural is normally used : 'ANYONE can enter for the Art Contest, can't THEY?'

Answer 6

anyONE is a singular, not a plural, subject. Your tenses must agree. Use the singular verb forms: is / was.

Answer 7

....

you dont need to use YOU

the verb must be singular

remember that ANYTHING is used for questions or for negative

e.g .is anyone coming with me

she doesnt know anyone in this country

Answer 8

Either "is" (present tense) or "was" (past tense). Anyone takes the singular, "of you" is an adjective phrase.

Answer 9

"were" would be the most appropriate verb if asking "anyone of you" (past tesnse)

OR

"are" any one of you.... (present tense)
