No/not one
Hi, there
Would it be wrong to say "There is no dog on the beach"? What about "There is not a dog on the beach" or "There is not one dog on the beach"?
And "No person was in the pool", "No people were in the pool", Not one person was in the pool" or "Not a person was in the pool"?
Thank you

and
"Nobody was in the pool."

Would it be wrong to say "1There is no dog on the beach"? What about "2There is not a dog on the beach" or "3There is not one dog on the beach"?
And "No person was in the pool", "4No one was in the pool", 5Not one person was in the pool" or "6Not a person was in the pool"?
1 to 6 are all good, and you can say one instead of another depending on your emphasis. Personally I prefer 1 and 4... No Noun, but, Not Verb.... is clearer to me.
