The 'No' Pattern

In this story, we see a very useful way to say something is missing using "There are no..."

How it works: Use this when you want to show a total absence of something (0%).

  • There are no photos →\rightarrow (Zero photos exist)
  • There are no notes →\rightarrow (Zero notes exist)

Comparison for A2 learners: Instead of saying "I don't have any photos," you can use "There are no photos" to describe a situation or a place.

Quick Word Map:

  • Court →\rightarrow A place for legal decisions.
  • Trial →\rightarrow The process of the court case.
  • Lie →\rightarrow Not the truth.
