0 "No" here is the same as "not any". It corresponds to "Mr Hedge didn't leave any room for doubt". You can replace "not any" by "no", and "no" is at the same place as you would have written "any". 0-

0 Hmmm... actually, I have no idea what a determiner is, but whatever it is, you can put 'no' in front of any noun. No exceptions. 0-

0 Determiners occur in front of uncountable nouns all over the place. There is no rule that says determiners must not occur before uncountable nouns. 02 br

1 u 00 Determiners 02 u 00 include demonstratives and quantifiers, as far as I know. Can you give me some examples of uncountable nouns with quantifiers? 02 br

00 Also, if I say the first sentence of my inquiry line to " 01 u 00 The determiners 02 u 00 include demonstratives and quantifiers 00 ," does it mean the determiners mentioned previous
