How to use NO & NOT in English

http://www.engvid.com/ In this English grammar lesson, I give you some clear rules you can follow on when to use 'no', and when to use 'not'. After the class, take the free quiz at http://www.engvid.com/how-to-use-no-not-in-english/ Oh, one note: in the lesson, I suggest not using these words in the same sentence. To be clear, they should usually not be used together in the same *clause*.

how about "no worry or dont worry? which one is right?

I've heard both of them.

Thank you

But can't you say, "You have not a reason for being late"

Sounds Shakespearian

@Spydurz you use the comma to separate the ideas

[CrazyFun0123]

@beastardo: "I have no idea" and "I do not have any idea" are right.

"I haven't idea". I think it is nonsense :(

"I haven't got any idea" is better :)

[beastardo]

@Pohity I don't get what you are saying. I used proper grammar in my comment.

@Spydurz comma

MANY students don't use articles properly in their speaking or use them wrong, so your explanation of using NOT in front of an article doesn't make any sense. I would explain that we use NOT after the auxiliary verbs))

When I was a kid, I also watched Sesame Streets which was not English version but Japanese. For me the TV programs were not fun so much.

No and not CAN be used in the same sentence. For example, what if someone said, "No, I do NOT want to go there."
