No and none are used with both countable and uncountable nouns. Also, they are used in negative sentences with the verb in the positive form.

At last, the expression “none of” must be followed by a noun and a verb in the singular form, preferably.

2. Tal como no, none é usado em sentenças negativas com o verbo na forma afirmativa.
3. Sendo none um pronome substantivo, nunca pode haver um substantivo mediatamente após ele.
