Smart Tips
Just say 'None'. It's faster and more natural than saying 'I have no...'.
Try using 'None of' with a singular verb to sound more academic.
Switch to 'no' for a cleaner, more direct sentence.
Always include the 'of'. You can't say 'none them'.
Prononciation
No vs. Know
'No' is pronounced exactly like 'know'. The 'k' is silent.
None
'None' rhymes with 'done' and 'run'. It does NOT rhyme with 'bone'.
Emphatic No
I have NO money.
Stressing 'no' emphasizes the total lack of something.
Mémorise-le
Moyen mnémotechnique
No needs a Noun; None stands aloNe.
Association visuelle
Imagine a 'No' sign leaning against a big crate (the noun). Then imagine the crate disappears, and only the 'None' sign remains standing by itself.
Rhyme
If a noun is in your sight, 'No' will make the sentence right. If the noun has gone away, 'None' is what you ought to say.
Story
A chef is looking for salt. He says 'I have no salt!' (No + Noun). His assistant looks in the cupboard and says 'We have none.' (None stands alone). They both realize they can't cook.
Word Web
Défi
Look around your room. Find three things you have zero of and say them out loud using 'No' (e.g., 'I have no cats'). Then ask yourself 'How many [thing]?' and answer 'None'.
Notes culturelles
In formal British English, 'none' is often strictly singular ('None of them is...'). However, in modern speech, the plural is standard.
Americans almost always use the plural verb with 'none of' in casual conversation.
Double negatives like 'I ain't got no' are grammatically correct within this dialect for emphasis, though they are considered 'incorrect' in Standard Academic English.
'No' comes from the Old English 'nā', meaning 'never' or 'not'. 'None' comes from 'ne' (not) + 'ān' (one).

Yes, you can use `none` or `none of them`. But if you are talking about zero people in general, `no one` or `nobody` is more common.
