Would it be possible to stress "no" instead of "have" In the sentence "I can't go out with my friend because I have NO friends" without changing its meaning? Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! 🤩 It's extremely rare to stress NO in a sentence like this. We definitely don't when we say it as a stand-alone sentence. The only example that I can think of is as a reply in a conversation: A: I don't know what to do tonight because I'm alone. B: you should go out with your new friends from your new school: I'm sure you've made some. A: no, I can't go out with my friends because I have NO friends. In this case you want to create opposition with SOME. But it's a very unusual and far-fetched case that probably doesn't even exist
I also don't like this topic. On one hand, some things are obvious, but on the other hand, intonation can be so different depending on the situation and what we want to stress in our speech. For example, I would say, "I can't go out with my friends because I have NO friends." Thanks for the video.
Yes, intonation is a very tricky topic to approach and I can't wait to stop talking about it haha 😜 as for stressing NO, in this specific construction we just don't and only stress HAVE: unfortunately, it's just something we need to learn as a given fact 😱 And careful with one little thing. Although ON ONE HAND can be heard and some people consider it technically correct, the most common option and the one I think English exams expect is ON THE ONE HAND 😉
No one can teach anything other than the person who succeeded in mastering that "anything"
Love your courses
You nailed it ❤
Thank you🎉
That's a wonderful way to put it and thing to say! Thank you so much 🤩😍❤️
Careful with one little thing: you succeed IN DOING Sth, not TO DO Sth 😉
