No / None / Not

"No" means "there isn't any" and is used before nouns. Not the difference in the verb before
countable and uncountable nouns.
Examples:
There's no beer left! What a terrible party!
There are no trees in the garden.
"None" means "not any, zero" and is a pronoun that can be used to substitute both countable and
uncountable nouns.
Q: How many children do you have?
A: None.
Note: "None" can take either a singular or plural verb form after.
Examples:
None of the boys are very intelligent.
None of the paintings is expensive.
These words should not be confused with "not" which is used to make verbs negative.
I do not like you.
We have not left yet!
You can't use "not" in front of nouns to mean "not any" although you can use with verbs before the
noun. See these examples:
There are not any apples. / There aren't any apples. NOT There are not apples.

English Grammar
No and None
We use no immediately before a singular or plural noun.

• No man is mortal.
• They have no food and will starve.
• We have got no plans for the summer.

Before a determiner (e.g. the, this, my) or a personal pronoun, we use none of.

• We invited several friends. But none of them came.

• None of the keys would open the door.
• None of my friends remembered my birthday.
 When we use none of with a plural noun or pronoun, the verb can be singular or plural.

• None of them has come yet. (more formal)

• None of them have come yet. (more informal)

None can be used alone, without a noun, if the meaning is clear.

• Is there any beer in the house? No, there is none.

Note that we use neither of, not none of, to talk about two people or things.

• Neither of my parents lives with me. (NOT None of my parents …)

No/none and not a/any

No can be used instead of not a or not any when we want to emphasise a negative idea.

• Sorry, I can’t stop. I have got no time. (More emphatic than … I haven’t got any time.)
• He is no fool. (More emphatic than He is not a fool.)

None of can be used instead of not any of.

• She has done none of the work I told her to do. (More emphatic than She hasn’t done any of
the work …)

After no, countable nouns are usually plural.

• He has got no children. (More natural than He has got no child.)

But note that we use a singular noun when the sense makes it necessary.

• He has got no wife. (NOT … no wives.)
