Is the word any a preposition?

No, "any" is not a preposition. It is a determiner.

Here's why:

* Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They often indicate location, direction, time, or manner. Examples: in, on, at, to, from, with, by, etc.

* Determiners specify the noun or pronoun that follows. They can indicate quantity, possession, or definiteness. Examples: a, an, the, some, any, many, few, etc.

In the sentence: "Do you have any questions?"

* "Any" modifies the noun "questions," specifying an unspecified quantity of questions.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
