Part 6: No vs not any vs none: English In A Minute

Let's have a look.

Imagine you ask me this question:

Do you have any change?

I have zero change, and I can say this in three different ways:

Sorry, I have no change.

where we use the verb have with no followed by a noun.

Sorry, I don't have any change.

where we use the negative don't followed by the verb followed by any followed by the noun.

Or, I can say:

Sorry, none at all

where we use none without a verb or a noun, so it's a short answer.

So now you shouldn't have any problems with this!
