Which is correct:
- Do any of the ideas interest you?
- Does any of the ideas interest you?
In one textbook, it gives 2 as an example sentence; however, in another one, I read something similar but it uses "do"-- "Do any of you have cars?" I am confused.
Both are possible depending on the situation.
If there are half a dozen ideas in question and the respondent is able to choose several of them, the question should be:
Do any of the ideas interest you?
But if the respondent has to choose only one idea from those being presented, the question might well be:
Does any (one) of the ideas interest you?
In most cases, the likely response would be to use the plural do.
But it depends on the context. Grammatically, both are correct.
