"Any" in my sentence

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Can I omit "any" in my sentence?

"There were not any medical bills resulted from that accident."
I think I could also say "There were no medical bills resulted from that accident."
My humble opinion: "any" should be used and the second sentence is correct.

Hello.

Can I omit "any" in my sentence? I wouldn't.

"There were not any medical bills [STRIKE]resulted[/STRIKE] resulting from that accident."
I think I could also say "There were no medical bills [STRIKE]resulted[/STRIKE] resulting from that accident."
My humble opinion: "any" should be used and the second sentence is correct.

I would prefer "weren't" in the first and would be more common unless, for example, emphasis was necessary.

Rachel, please post threads of this nature here in Editing & Writing Topics, especially as you already have 11 threads listed on the first page of Ask a Teacher.

I prefer"resulting" to be omitted.

You could also say:

There were no medical bills as a result of the accident.

You don't need to open with "There were". Here are the simplest ways to say it is:

No medical bills resulted from the accident.
The accident resulted in no medical bills.

You don't need to open with "There were". Here are the simplest ways to say it is:

No medical bills resulted from the accident.
The accident resulted in no medical bills.

"There were not medical biills resulting from that accident" is wrong without "any" isn't it?
