No vs. Not
When can we use not in a sentence?
When can we use no in a sentence?
Discuss with your partner.

20. NOT: 1.) Use with adjectives
Example 1: I am not happy. How do we know that happy is an adjective? Because it describes a noun. In this case the noun is I. Example 2: He is not tall. What is tall describing here? Tall describes he.

21. Not 2.) use with (a + adjective + noun)
When there is an (a +adjective + noun) we use not.
Example: I am not a happy camper.
Without the adjective we would still use not.
Example: I am not a camper.

22. Not 2.) a + adjective + noun
MORE examples
Example: She is not a bad student. OR
Example: She is not a (bad) student.
She is not a student.
*With or without the adjective we still use not with (a + [adjective] + noun), however the meaning of the two sentences is very different.

23. NOT 3.) is + NOT + verb
When the negative is followed by a verb, use not. This will usually be an –ing verb
Example 1: He is not studying.
Example 2: She is not sleeping
Example 3: They are not leaving.
Example 4: We aren’t meeting at the café, we are meeting at the movie theater.

24. NO 1.) no + noun
The negative no should be used when describing a general nouns, plural nouns, or any non-count noun. No is used with no article (no an, an, the…). “no means no article”
Example:
There are no children here.
There is no coffee available.
I am no fool.
Is the word children plural or singular? Is the word coffee count or non-count. Is fool a noun or an adjective?

25. NO 2.) NO + adjective + noun
When there is no article, but there is an adjective + a general, plural, or non-count noun, use NO. Example 1: I have no small pets. * notice that pets is plural, so there is no article. (So we use not.) Example 2: I have no clean clothes to wear. I need to do the laundry.

26. Not/Not NOT NO adjective a + (adjective) + noun (adjective) noun
is + not + verb
