Hi, I’m Sam from BBC Learning English,

and today we’re looking at the difference between
1
3500

00:06
no, not any and none.
2

Let's have a look.

Imagine you ask me this question:
4
11800
2320
00:14
Do you have any change?
5
14120
2300
00:16
I have zero change,
6
16430
2570
00:19
and I can say this in three different ways:
7
19000
2940
00:22
Sorry, I have no change.
8
22260
3240
00:25
– where we use the verb have with no
9
25500
4140
00:29
followed by a noun.
10
29640
1620
00:31
Sorry, I don’t have any change.
11
31260
3020
00:34
– where we use the negative don’t
12
34280
2760
00:37
followed by the verb followed by any
13
37040
3840
00:40
followed by the noun.
14
40880
1760
00:43
Or, I can say:
15
43000
1920
00:44
Sorry, none at all
16
44920
2420
00:47
– where we use none without a verb or a noun,
17
47340
3980
00:51
so it's a short answer.

So now you shouldn’t have any problems with this!
