Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: There is ___ milk left in the fridge.

Question 1 options
'No' is correct because it acts as a determiner before the noun 'milk' to show zero quantity. 'Not' cannot directly precede a noun without an article or auxiliary verb.
Q2 15

Question 2: She does ___ want to eat breakfast this morning.

Question 2 options
'Not' is correct because it negates the verb 'want' when used with the auxiliary verb 'does'. 'No' cannot be used to negate a verb directly.
Q3 15

Question 3: 'No' can be used before a noun to show that something does not exist or is unavailable.

Question 3 options
True because 'no' functions as a determiner before nouns to express zero quantity or absence, as in 'There is no water here.'
Q4 15

Question 4: Which situation correctly uses 'not'?

Question 4 options
'Not' is used to negate verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. 'She is not ready' negates the adjective 'ready' using 'not' with the verb 'is'. The other options require 'no' as a determiner before a noun.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • buses
  • There
  • today
  • no
  • are

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'There are no buses today' because 'no' is used as a determiner before the noun 'buses', and 'today' follows as a time expression.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is correct?

Question 6 options
'He is not happy about the news' is correct because 'not' negates the adjective 'happy' when used with the verb 'is'. The other sentences incorrectly use 'no' with a verb or adjective.
Q7 15

Question 7: Customer: Is there a table available? Waiter: I'm sorry, there are ___ tables free right now.

Question 7 options
'No' is correct because it acts as a determiner before the noun 'tables' to indicate zero availability. 'Not' cannot directly precede a noun in this structure.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses 'no' instead of 'not'?

Question 8 options
'There is no parking space here' correctly uses 'no' as a determiner before the noun phrase 'parking space'. The other sentences require 'not' to negate a verb or adjective.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • do not
  • have
  • I
  • any money

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'I do not have any money' because 'not' negates the verb 'have' and follows the auxiliary verb 'do'.
Q10 15

Question 10: The teacher said it is ___ a good idea to skip classes.

Question 10 options
'Not' is correct because it negates the adjective phrase 'a good idea' when used after the verb 'is'. 'No' would need to come directly before a noun without an article.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about using 'no' and 'not' is true?

Question 11 options
'No' is used as a determiner directly before a noun, while 'not' is used with verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. They are not interchangeable in these positions.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite the sentence using 'not': 'There are no students in the classroom.' → The classroom has students ___ it.

Question 12 options
'Not in' is correct because the transformation requires 'not' to negate the adverbial phrase showing location. The original sentence used 'no' before a noun, but the new structure needs 'not' before a prepositional phrase.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
There is no sugar in my coffee.
No, I don't want any cake.
She is not very tall.
He does not enjoy football.
'Not' negating an adverb
'No' as a determiner before a noun
'Not' negating a verb with an auxiliary
'No' as a negative reply

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

'No' is used as a determiner before nouns or as a negative reply. 'Not' is used to negate verbs, adjectives, or adverbs.
Q14 15

Question 14: In the phrase 'no idea', 'no' is used correctly as a determiner before the noun 'idea' to mean 'zero idea'.

Question 14 options
True because 'no' can precede abstract nouns like 'idea' to express complete absence, as in 'I have no idea'. This is a standard and common use of 'no' as a determiner.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence best expresses that someone refused to attend a meeting?

Question 15 options
'She decided not to go to the meeting' is the most natural way to negate an infinitive verb phrase. 'Not' is placed before 'to + verb' to show a deliberate negative decision. 'No go' and 'no going' are not standard negative infinitive constructions.
