Cheers, why can't I use any? So far I thought that in negative sentences I can use it.

You would have to make the VERB negative as in: I haven't any idea.

I think the form is "have not" or "haven't"; why in this case is "I have no idea"..??? :?:

[The_Lucky_One]

Why is the correct answer "I have no idea" ?

I've thought that the correct answer was "I have not idea"

Could you clarify me why ?

Thanks

Hi,

As I said above, there are two possibilities:

I have no idea or I haven't any idea.
