Hi dear collegues
It is the first time that I write, but I used to check this page daily, I think it �s the best page I �ve ever seen. Ok, my question is when to use NO in a sentence and when to use NOT, for example:
There is no wind, it �s calm.
There isn �t wind, it �s calm.
And what is the reason of using No or Not in a sentence.
I know that you will disipel my doubts, thanks in advance.

Hi! erika,You �re welcome to this community.
the first example is correct,while the second, I think it �s false.
We say:there isn �t any/much.It depends on wether the noun is countable or uncountable.
I hope this helps |

"No" modifies nouns and gerund " There is no wind" is correct " Not" is used with adjectives, adverbs and quantifiers. "there is not much / any wind" Paula |
