为什么是There were not any in sight而不是there was not any in sight请问?

问题描述:

为什么是There were not any in sight而不是there was not any in sight请问?
是根据语境来决定的还是any指的是复数呢?

any 即可修饰可数名词复数,也 可修饰不可数名词,
eg .There aren't any books on the table .
There isn't any meat on the plate .
句子用there weren't any in sight .句中谓语用的是 were 说明any 是指代复数名词.
