2. When can we use no in a sentence?

Discuss with your partner.

NOT: 1.) Use with adjectives

Example 1: I am not happy. How do we know that happy is an adjective?Because it describes a noun. In this case the noun is I.Example 2: He is not tall. What is tall describing here?Tall describes he.

Not 2.) use with (a + adjective + noun)

1. When there is an (a +adjective + noun) we use not.

Example: I am not a happy camper.

1. Without the adjective we would still use not.

Example: I am not a camper.

Not 2.) a + adjective + nounMORE examplesExample: She is not a bad student. ORExample: She is not a (bad)

student. She is not a student.*With or without the adjective we still use not with (a + [adjective] + noun), however the meaning of the two sentences is very different.

NOT 3.) is + NOT + verb1. When the negative is followed by a

verb, use not. This will usually be an –ing verb

Example 1: He is not studying. Example 2: She is not sleepingExample 3: They are not leaving.Example 4: We aren’t meeting at the café, we are meeting at the movie theater.

NO 1.) no + noun1. The negative no should be used when

describing a general nouns, plural nouns, or any non-count noun. No is used with no article (no an, an, the…). “no means no article”

Example: 2. There are no children here.3. There is no coffee available.4. I am no fool. Is the word children plural or singular? Is the

word coffee count or non-count. Is fool a noun or an adjective?

NO 2.) NO + adjective + nounWhen there is no article, but there is an adjective + a general, plural, or non-count noun, use NO.

Example 1: I have no small pets. * notice that pets is plural, so there is no article. (So we use not.)Example 2: I have no clean clothes to wear. I need to do the laundry.
