diff btwn "i haven't any" and "i have no"
hi i was wondering about the following sentences..
i haven't any money.
i have no money.
i thought both were correct, but my teacher only said the former. can someone help explain this to me, since i think the former sounds more professional, but that doesnt' make the latter any less correct. thanks!
i haven't any money.
i have no money.

Both are correct and common. The first is a bit more conversational, that is all.

Hi Anonymous,
1. "I haven't got any money" would be more suitable I think.
2. It is correct. It's just casual English.
