DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "NO" AND "NOT"

CREATED BY VALANGLIA

The word no never precedes: a, an, at, in, the, any, much, many, enough.

No is used:

  • as an exclamation.
  • as an adjective before singular and plural nouns.

Not is used:

  • as an adverb to make a sentence negative. 
  • to make an adjective or adverb negative.
  • in short replies with a number of verbs.

Examples:

  • We have no money in the bank now.
  • We do not have any money in the bank now.

  • There are no books in the bookcase.
  • There are no English books in the bookcase.
  • There are not any books in the bookcase.

  • Do you like coffee? No, I don't.
  • Didn't you finish it? No, I didn't.

  • Don't you want this? Not at all.
  • Won't you be mad at us? Not in the least.
  • Aren't you going to go? Not right now.
  • Who took my book? Not me.
