Number, Majority, Total

Ok, this is weird. The article the and a can either make a noun singular or plural. So, while the total, the majority, the number are singulars; a number, a total, a majority, are plurals.

Another thing, in what situation should a noun be plural or singluar the qualifier "any"?

One general rules, when it's in the negative, it's plural, i.e it didn't show any irregularities. But also depends on whether you are refering to one or more subjects after the word "any".
