Both words are correct, however in colloquial registers we don’t use no with physical possessions but with attitudes and desires. So in both registers you’ll get to both words. Both describe your physical possessions except for the physical possessions (which you have), and both do this.

I have no in a sentence like I have no

  • idea what you are referring to.
  • She has no patience with that sort of stupidity.
  • How come we don’t have any proof that what would happen today is inevitable.
  • What does it mean for the societal group to treat us so unfairly?
  • You had no business telling him what you said, I said. I want to hear him. It’s a good conversation. I think I understood.
  • He had no desire to interfere.
  • Why should I change my approach?

But we use I don’t have any in phrases like

  • I don’t have any money.
  • We don’t have any food.

I go through both forms of negation, which is a mistake and a mistake; yes both are correct. The former is known as no-negation, Dr

Gillian McKeith has no medical qualification whereas

the latter is known as not-negation, Dr Gillian

McKeith don’t have a medical qualification The “Longman

Grammar of Spoken and Written English” contains a brief section (8.8b). 8) that discusses choosing between not-negation and no-negation. This is something you have read twice before (see below). Is it true that in English not-negation is much more common and that no-negation is rare or moderately more common in conversations?

In some cases the choice between not-negation and no-negation may carry in some cases additional meaning. If she isn’t a medical

doctor I’m simply saying she

doesn’t hold a medical degree. Is. What should I do

when I write she is

no medical doctor? What I’m actually saying is that although one could have thought that Dr Gillian possessed a medical degree,

she actually doesn’t.
