Complete the dramatic text message to your roommate.

"I checked the fridge, the pantry, and even under the sofa, but there is absolutely ___ coffee left in this apartment!"

The correct answer is no.

We use no as a determiner directly before a noun (like "coffee") to mean zero quantity.

• "Any" would require a negative verb (e.g., "there isn't any coffee").

• "None" is a pronoun and stands alone; it cannot be placed directly in front of a noun (you would say "there is none left", not "none coffee").
