How to use NO & NOT in English

hi James mingott my last video should make the blooper reel anyway Oh welcome to give it but I want to do is teach a lesson uh no not no one not a very interesting English because a lot of cases a lot of countries let me let me let me draw something for you mystery will help me now no one not in English we have this okay no and not what's really funny is in most countries know or not is just know so a lot of students have problems when they use no one not properly so they will they won't say I am not happy to go I know happy because in their country they would say no but in English we have this split with no one not what I'm going to do is try and make it easy or easier for you to understand when the split occurs and just in case you think you know it's not helpful although it's easy even English people have a hard time explaining to each other where you say no or not we think it's just memorize memorization when actually there are a few rules that are handy and very very valid so why don't we go to the board and take a look now going to start off you know mystery okay and you also have Syl Syl the snake what I'm gonna do is start off with a note section why do we say no or when are we allowed to say no first time how about this would you like some cake no I don't want any cake when somebody else a yes or no question you don't say not you say no would you like some cake you say yes obviously but when we say no the negative is no I do not want any cake go do to do all right what's the next one so for yes or no questions all right how about the next one when else do we say no now on purpose writing it so you Lexie pay attention he had no reason for being late you cannot say he has not reason for being late it doesn't make sense in English we say no reason why here's the rule before a noun without an article a reason reason is a noun I have a reason it's also over reasoning but in this case it's a noun okay so he had no reason the noun but there's no article if he had a reason we couldn't use this cool alright so if you have a noun without an article we say no so he had no reason for being late cool let's do the third one where's my trusty brush I have no reason for losing it okay so here's a third lesson a third one okay doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo - I like singing I like singing in the morning snake napalm with bad reference okay finally you may know who this guy is Michael Jordan one of the greatest basketball players that has ever lived he's still alive okay has no worthy opponents worthy means worthwhile or a value no opponents of value okay so he has no worthy opponents well let's look at this worthy ok opponent is the noun right the verb is has no is our negation or negative so what's this well this is an adjective so when you have a noun with an adjective notice no article we can say no in front of it he has no worthy of opponents not he has not right so he has no worthy opponents can be used before a noun with an adjective there are exceptions exceptions exceptions exceptions exceptions all right be careful and watch for these four exceptions to this rule okay because these modify or act as adjectives but you're not allowed to use them with no okay so big star extras okay we call extras this one's easy to remember any many if you never watch Sesame Street it would be like doomed to do many do any okay you can't use it with many any much or enough so you say I do not have enough money I do not have enough and you cannot say I do know I can't even say hold on a second let me think I do know have enough money now I sound like a foreign student okay but I cannot say that in English so here's a star saying no cannot be done with these ones okay those are exceptions should we move on I think we should know I should stay here not this is not something we should do I should move over yeah here's SIL the snake okay thanks mr. e so the snake is going to take over and we're going to work on not now you know know when can we use not well proceeds a noun that has an article well knows what's in out oops oops wrong color okay two-digit antenna not this is not a house it's not it's a box it's a tiny box you couldn't live in the box okay this is not a house we have an article you cannot say this is no house is to say this is not a house okay what's the next one we have before many Eddie or enough well we know we can use we already said we can't use no but we can use not okay okay make it over here and write it so you can see me we do not have enough time you can't say we don't have no time unless you live in the ghetto and there's this guy named Antoine who's doing this ghetto video you know maybe we'll do one on him and then you can say we don't have no time we do not have enough time because we are educated okay you're educated so we do not have so when you have many any or enough right we do not have enough money we do not have a time we do not have enough energy speaking very quickly so you will not have enough to take time to understand me but enough we can use not many any enough much remember Sesame Street time many and he all right finally this is something that no cannot do with no we didn't even mention it over here but we will when we do not okay so let's go over here when you have a verb it's usually tells you about an action it's telling you the truth about an action that is happening but sometimes you want to say that's not happening so we can say this okay I do not like cake I do not like cake either side still works if you see my belly I like cake anyway how could you say I do like cake it's yes it's positive by adding the knot we make it negative especially in cases with auxilary verbs we use it a lot right so do not like okay I do not modal's could not right we use this to make modal's and exhilarate in regular verbs negative in sense so not makes verbs negative no does not do this okay now is my guests already stoltz final thing I want to tell you no dad no never use in the same sentence now if you remember I did a sentence earlier and I said no i do not like cake I used a comma to separate the ideas all right no I do not like cake right or no I don't like cake but it was a comma separating it but we usually don't put no and not in the same sentence why why because it's a double negative double negatives we don't use in sentences so no I'm not going to help you today you can't say that because it means I have to help you do everything cool alright so thanks silly okay do the pound thank see I hope this does not stop you from practicing your English in fact I think this is one of the lessons not the best one mind you but no I think you know we've done better but this is a good one you will learn from it and I would like you to learn more from us by going to www.engvid.com where you can see me e and SIL and learn more in fact I don't think no I don't think there is not another place where you can learn more no I'm sure it joking I'm not that egotistical go to the website see you later take the quiz
