Anytime you want to use "any", aren't there any rules?

Last night in class, a student was wondering if there were any rules for "any" and singular and plural nouns.

When the meaning is that "anything is OK", we usually use a singular noun after "any".
  • You can take any one you like.
  • Any place you would like to meet would be fine.
  • You shouldn't accept just any teacher.
When any is used with "not", we usually use a plural or uncountable noun after "any".
  • She didn't have any other questions.
  • We couldn't find any restaurants that looked delicious.
  • There wasn't any space left in the bag.
If you have any other questions, you can ask me anytime.
