Hi Quoc,

After no+ noun, do you write singular or plural? Both are possible.

Ex: There is no student in that class. (1)

There are no students in that class. (2)

If both are correct, what is the difference in meaning between (1) and (2)?

There is no table in that room. This suggests that I expected there would be one.

There are no tables in that room. This suggests that I expected there would be more than one.

Best wishes, Clive

Both are correct grammar. There's little or no difference.

There isn't a student here.

There's no student here. This seems like a more natural thing to say.
