'No' instead of 'Any' #1 (permalink) Sat Jul 01, 2006 14:34 pm   'No' instead of 'Any'
 

Hello! How are you?

Thanks in advance!

1.- There isn?t (ANY) life on the moon.
2.- There is NO life on the moon.

My questions:

a) Can I use 'No' instead of 'Any' in
my second sentence?

b) Can I Drop 'any' in the first one?

Thanks again!
