'does anyone of you' vs 'do anyone of you' #1 (permalink) Tue Jul 15, 2008 13:59 pm   'does anyone of you' vs 'do anyone of you'
 

Can someone please tell me which one of the following two sentences is correct?

1) Does anyone of you know how to write to a pdf file?
2) Do anyone of you know how to write to a pdf file?

I would write it this way:

Does any of you know how to write to a pdf file.

Hi Daemon

I'd prefer the spelling 'any one' over 'anyone' for that particular wording, and would also use the third person singular of the verb (i.e. as in your first sentence).

However, I think I would probably use either of the two following formats far more often:

a) Does anyone know ...?
b) Do any of you know ...?
