What am I supposed to say if I want to say that I don't possess ssomething? here are some sentences I have trouble with:
1-I have nobody or I don't have anybody?
2-There isn't any sugar or there's no sugar?
3-I have no knives in my bag or I don't have any knives in my bag?
All forms are perfectly fine.
1-I have nobody or I don't have anybody?
Both sound fine.
"I don't have anybody" sounds a little more natural whereas "I have nobody ..." sounds more natural if something follows it: "I have nobody to turn to".
Otherwise "I have no one" sounds more natural on its own.
2- There isn't any sugar or there's no sugar?
Both sound fine and natural.
3- I have no knives in my bag or I don't have any knives in my bag?
Both are fine. The second form is slightly more natural I would say.
