The shape
no + noun · none (alone) · not any + noun
Say there is nothing, three different ways.
In Hindi
no संज्ञा से पहले आता है, none अकेला खड़ा होता है, और not any इन दोनों का बोलचाल वाला रूप है।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
I have no any money. | I have no money. "No" and "any" cannot sit together — one of them is enough. |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.
There is no shop here.
यहाँ कोई दुकान नहीं है।
There is no chair in the room.
कमरे में कुर्सी नहीं है।
I have no problem.
मेरे पास कोई समस्या नहीं है।
I am in no hurry.
मुझे कोई जल्दी नहीं है।
This is all I want.
मुझे बस यही चाहिए।
I do not want anything else.
मुझे कुछ और नहीं चाहिए।
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
no / none / not any is a CEFR A2 structure — the everyday band — and it belongs to nouns, articles & quantity. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
