1) Give me any book you have on mathematics.
2) Give me any books you have on mathematics.
What is the difference between the meanings of these sentences?
Does #1 mean: "No matter how many books you have on mathematics, give me just one."?
Does #2 mean: "Give me all the books you have on mathematics."?
3) I really tried to make him tell me any secrets about his wife's past.
Does that mean that I tried to get all of the secrets he knew of his wife's past or I just wanted a secret about his wife's past and any secret would do?
