11 No not none
No, not and none.

[00:00:02] All of these Express negation or the absence of something, but depending on what
you want to talk about, like if it's a noun, adjective or quantifier, then we need to change which
one we use.

[00:00:12] So let's get started. So, you know when to use which one of these three.

[00:00:17] Use no for questions.

[00:00:19] First, we use no to answer yes or no questions. That is questions where you can
either respond with yes or no. And as I think you know, to answer in the negative, we use no!

[00:00:30] Are you at work?

[00:00:30] No, I'm at home.

[00:00:32] Are you hungry?

[00:00:33] No, I already ate.

[00:00:35] Using no before nouns with no article.

[00:00:38] This is for singular or plural nouns, if there is no article, a an the, we use no!

[00:00:44] There are no reasons why you shouldn't go.

[00:00:46] Why are no people at work this morning?

[00:00:48] I see no nice cars to choose from.

[00:00:51] Using no before adjectives.

[00:00:53] No can be used before an adjective/noun combination. I just did with I see no nice
cars, but we can't use no in front of quantifiers, like any much many and enough. Instead, we
use not. And we'll discuss that shortly.

[00:01:09] There's no good reason to lie.

[00:01:10] I have no good pots or pans for cooking.

[00:01:13] I saw no bad messages on my phone earlier.

[00:01:16] Using not before nouns with articles.

[00:01:19] No can only be used before nouns with no article. Neither definite nor indefinite. So if
there is an article, we use not before these nouns. And it can be definite or indefinite articles. So
if we have nouns with articles, either definite or indefinite articles, we use not.

[00:01:37] That's not a reason to skip class.

[00:01:39] It's not a source of vitamin D.

[00:01:41] It's not the right time yet.

[00:01:43] Using not before quantifiers.

[00:01:45] With quantifiers, like any much many and enough, we use not.

[00:01:50] That's not enough for the trip.

[00:01:52] Not much time left.

[00:01:53] We should hurry.

[00:01:54] There's not many people here.

[00:01:56] Using not with verbs!

[00:01:58] Finally, to make a verb negative. It will often be contracted, shortened depending on
what comes before it!

[00:02:04] Are not becomes aren't.

[00:02:06] Is not becomes isn't.

[00:02:08] Am not doesn't change, it stays the same. I am not.

[00:02:13] Does not becomes doesn't.

[00:02:15] Do not becomes don't.

[00:02:17] Did not becomes didn't.

[00:02:19] Will not be comes won't.

[00:02:21] Has not becomes hasn't.

[00:02:22] And have not becomes haven't.

[00:02:25] They don't know where they're going.

[00:02:26] I didn't understand.

[00:02:28] They haven't decided .

[00:02:29] No versus none.

[00:02:31] I already told you that we use know before nouns with no articles. We always use no
with a noun, never by itself. However, we can use none to replace the noun. So it's a pronoun.
We use it by itself.

[00:02:45] I have no time or I have none.

[00:02:48] There was no problem or there was none.

[00:02:50] There are no cars or there are none.

[00:02:53] Answering questions with none.

[00:02:56] With questions about quantity, related to things or people, like asking how much or
how many, we use none to mean zero zilch nada.

[00:03:05] How much free time do you have?

[00:03:06] Oh none today. I'm very busy.

[00:03:08] How many do we have left over? None we are all out.

[00:03:12] How many people are still at your house?

[00:03:15] None. They all left.

[00:03:16] Answering questions with no one and nobody.

[00:03:19] If you want to give a negative response to a question that asks who, we use no one or
nobody. There is really no difference between the two of them. They can mean either literally
no one, zero people. And they can mean that it wasn't an important person, not someone to
worry about or not someone you care about.

[00:03:38] Who are you talking to at the party?

[00:03:40] No one just a friend of mine.

[00:03:42] Did you meet new people at the work conference?

[00:03:44] Nobody! I was too busy in meetings the entire time.

[00:03:47] Was there anyone at their house?

[00:03:49] No one. They must already be on vacation.
