I have a grammar question...?

Question

Not even the deadly rattlesnake--nor ANY of the other prairie creatures-was dreaded as much as the skunk,

is any a pronoun or an adjective?

Answer 1

Adjective: Deadly, Prairie,

No pronouns.. I dont think...

Answer 2

Any is a noun.

It is not an adjective because it is not modifying a noun.

It is not a pronoun because pronouns are a defined set: I, You, He/She, etc.

Answer 3

It's an adjective because describes the number of prairie creatures.

Example: I managed to save MOST of the puppies from the burning building!

Answer 4

ahhh! not a verb. no no no. maybe a pronoun but then where is the antecedent i wonder? it kind of acts as a double subject.  

Answer 5

adjective because it describes how many or how much

Answer 6

It can be both, but in this case, it's an adjective, modifying prairie creatures.  What kind of creatures?  ANY creatures.  

Answer 11

yes the word any is a pronoun. Any can be used as an adjective, adverb and a pronoun. In this case it's a pronoun because it's acting as a subject in the sentence.

Answer 13

adjective

the word "any" is describing "creatures". "creatures" is a noun, thus making "any" an adjective
