I have seen people using plural/singular form of the nouns after "no", and I found the similar answer (we can use plural or singular noun after "no")on google. However, I am posting this question here to clear my doubt with the experts' advice.
Ques- Should we use only singular form of noun after "no".
No question is silly. --correct
No questions are silly-- don't know.. this sentence looks little awkward to me
There are no leaves in the garden -- seems to be correct.
Please guide
Dear
AR15J,
I'm happy to respond.
All three of your sentences are 100% correct.
Also, just for reference, don't use Google for grammar. Google will give you what the great unwashed masses think is correct--that's far far below the standards of the GMAT. There's a grammar blogger, Grammar Girl, who ranks high in SEO--she's a very bright lady, but her standards for what is correct are far below those of the GMAT. Do not trust anything unless it's specific to the GMAT: grammatically correct somewhere else on the web is not necessarily grammatically correct on the GMAT.
MGMAT and
Magoosh are very good sources for what grammar is right on the GMAT.
Here's a blog you may find helpful as a starting point:
GMAT GrammarThere is a tremendous amount of information in the linked blogs.
Does all this make sense?
