Grammar
no more than vs. not more than
StartFragment>
In an English grammar textbook made in Japan, there is the following sentences.
But to me 'no more than' is almost same with 'not more than' and 'no less than' with 'not less than.'
Am I right, so I can use them interchangeablely?
• I have no more than $10,000. =only
• I have no less than $10,000. = as much as
• I have not more than $10,000. = at most
• I have not less than $10,000. = at least

Hi,
In an English grammar textbook made in Japan, there is the following sentences.
But to me 'no more than' is almost same with 'not more than' and 'no less than' with 'not less than.'
This should be written as But to me, 'no more than' is almost the same as 'not more than', and 'no less than' almost the same as 'not less than.'

Clive's response is inconsistent. If no less than 10,000=as much as and maybe more,then no more than 10,000 should be =only 10,000 maybe less,whic is the same as not more than. Am I correct?

Oh that's a good point. And I think you are correct. As far as I am concerned, if someone says "I have no more than 100 dollars in my drawer.", then he can have precisely 100 dollars or less than 100 dollars like 1 cent in his drawer. By the way, I personally seldom apply "not more than" in the middle of the sentence. I'd prefer to say "I have no more than" rather than "I have not more than". Why
