Cualquier, cualquiera, and cualesquiera?


Cualquier

It is the singular form and it appears before the noun, which can be both masculine and feminine:
Coje cualquier libro
Lee cualquier página

Cualquiera

It is the singular form and it appears after the noun, which can be both masculine and feminine:
Coje un libro cualquiera
Lee una página cualquiera

So, use cualquier or cualquiera when you any to say "any", one single thing. "Cualquier" is the shorted form, and "cualquiera" is the full form. Just pick any of them and be careful with the placement.

Cualesquiera

It is the plural form and it appears after the noun, which can be both masculine and feminine:
Coje dos libros cualesquiera
Lee dos páginas cualesquiera
