He has not a care in the world. NO. The opposite to yes as an answer: Do you like movies? No (, I do not). Did you watch that movie? No (, I do not). Use no to negate a noun. You can do this when in a positive sense you use an indefinite article only (or with mass nouns, and the article disappears in the negative: Is there a problem? No, there ...

2018年3月6日 · For example we may say “I am not tall,” but not “I am no tall.” Truly comparative adjectival forms always permit either ‘no’ or ‘not’ in a certain construction, regardless of the concept of “negative polarity items.” I have found no reason for this, but it seems true upon consideration of examples. He is not (or no) older ...

2015年3月22日 · Some will go so far as to add "yes or no?" to the question. The question, "Are you coming to the gym?" is clear, concise, and calls for one or the other of two alternatives.

A common topic in statistics is a test of significance, or significance level, but these are applied to data sets (e.g. in view of an experimental hypothesis), and I'm having trouble conceiving of how it will be applied to a variable.

2016年10月12日 · This then creates a conflict between the abbreviation no. meaning number (from French nombre) and № (from the Latin numero). 1. Back to the question - Since it is common to use the abbreviation 'no.' to mean number of, particularly in technical circumstances such as yours, it seems perfectly appropriate to abbreviate it as you have.

Did you have lunch at home yesterday? (1) No, I haven't. (2) No, I hadn't. (3) No, I didn't. (4) No, I don't. The relevant word in the question is did, and the corresponding word in the reply would be didn't. So 3. is correct. In the US you might not always find consistency in this.
