No y not: cuándo y con qué

Hi guys,

1. Como norma básica recordad que usamos "not" para negar con el verbo, y usamos "no" para negar con el nombre.

There is no time to lose = There isn't any time to lose

2. Y recordad que en inglés normalmente no negamos dos veces:

No hice nada = I didn't do anything = I did nothing = No hice "cosa alguna"

Grammar notes and exercises:

No - not // no double negative
