Any and no: adverbs
Any and no with comparatives[edit | edit source]
Any can modify comparatives. This happens mostly in questions and negative sentences, and after if.
Examples:
- Can you go any faster?
- You don’t look any older than your daughter. (= You don’t look at all older . . .)
- If l were any younger, I ’d fall in love with you.
"No" can also be used in this way (but not some).
Example:
- I ’m afraid the weather's no better than yesterday.
any/no different[edit | edit source]
We can also use any and no with different.
Examples:
- This school isn’t any different from the last one.
- ‘Is Jack any better?’ ‘No different. Still very ill.’
3. any/no good; any/no use[edit | edit source]
Note the expressions any good/use and no good/use.
Examples:
- Was the film any good?
- This car is no use. It keeps stopping.
