There is no vs. There is not 'There is' no and 'there is not' When I should use one or another? For example, the following sentences sound good for me (and not their counterparts)... but I dont know why There is no decision. There is not any decision There is not an agreement

cases near I think that the following sentence sounds weird, but I don't know why 'Example 3 illustrates some cases near to previous’, but for which tense was the selected signal (instead aspect and sentence mood).' Note: what i want to mean is that example 3 is similar to other examples presented before (those previous examples illustrated some questions about 'aspect and sentence mood')

'With' as 'thanks to' I would like to use the preposition "with" in the following example, where trough "with" I mean "thanks to". I want to know if it is incorrect, or it sounds weird but it is correct. "Given a matrix C of Euclidean distances between m points, where dimension n of the points is unknown, we show a simple inductive algorithm to determinate the value of n. WITH this algorithm is always possible finding m points whose distance matrix is always C. Thanks!

Ellipsis in enumerations I want to talk about subject subordinate clauses, object subordinate clauses and subordinate relative clauses. Is correct that expression? 'Relative, subject and object subordinate clauses are not taken into account' A second question, it would sounds weird 'relative, subject and object subordinate clauses are not CONSIDERED' ? Thanks!

Insist that or insist on that? I am not sure with this sentence, I think that sounds weird or a little bit complex. By the way, what form is correct 'insist that' or 'insist on that' Authors insist that there are not unambiguous signals for any of the categories, so their definitions do not rely on morphological or syntactic signals but in functional and semantic judgments alone. Correct my mistakes, please Thanks!

'to the fact that' Does it sound strange? Actually, I think that all the sentence sounds weird: 'However, major criticism to that theory points to its predictive shortcomings and to the fact that different annotators can propose different analyses for the same text.' Correct my mistakes, please. Thank you!

'as i will do henceforth' (sounds good?) I am not sure with this expression. Any suggestion? Smith and Thompson consider only one feature, as I will do henceforth.
