The word 'any' functions as an indefinite pronoun when it takes the place of an unknown or unnamed noun for a person or thing.

Example: I thought we had sugar but I can't find any.

The words 'any' and 'every' are adjectives when used before a noun to describe that noun.

Examples:

We don't have any sugar.

Every canister is empty.

The word 'an' is an indefinite article, used before a word starting with a vowel sound to indicate that the noun that follows is a general noun.

The word 'a' is the indefinite article used before a word starting with a consonant sound to indicate that the noun that follows is a general noun.

Examples:

I wish I had an apple.

I wish I had an apple pie.

A pie does sound good.
