"There is no answer" - No one has answered the phone. "There is no reason to act that way" - There is no excuse for that behavior. "There is no place like home" - Nothing compares with being home. "There is no milk in the soup" - It is lacking, absent "There is not any answer" - We would say, "There's no answer" "There is not any reason to act that way" - We would say "There is no reason to act that way" "There is not any support for my project" - It is lacking, doesn't exist "There is not any milk in the refrigerator" - There should be, but there isn't. We would be more likely to say: "There ARE not any..." - None are present "There are not any dogs in this neighborhood" "There are not any "F"s or "P"s in "scooter". "There are not any fruit trees in space" I hope this helps.
