例句:
There was no water in the glass.
There were no students in the classroom.
看主语是否可数,不可数Water,则用was
可数,students,用were
there is no后面接单数
例:
There is no money.没有钱了
不可数名词,单数。
There are no apples.
可数名字,复数。
当no作为限定词时,它后面可以接可数名词或不可数名词。
通常情况下,当no后面接可数名词时,该名词使用复数,特别是当涉及到"there are…", "……has…"这样的句型时
比如:
(1) It was early December and there were no leaves on the trees.
(2) The room has no windows.
(3) No road accidents were reported in Chelsea throughout August.
但是在一些情况下,no后面的可数名词也可以使用单数,而是否使用单数的关键在于说话者认为这个名词属于单数还是复数
比如:
I have no wife.
这里wife虽然是可数名词,但是句子一般不能写成:I have no wives. 因为通常情况下一个人只有一个妻子。
又比如:
He must lead a lonely life in that village: he has no wife and no children.
这里用no children比用no child要更加自然
