Отрицательное предложение с оборотом there is/there are может быть образовано двумя способами.
Во-первых, с помощью отрицательной частицы not, которую нужно поставить после глагола to be. В разговорной речи обычно используется сокращенная отрицательная форма:
в настоящем времени there isn’t или there aren’t.
в прошедшем времени there wasn’t или there weren’t.
В отрицательном предложении перед исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе ставится неопределенный артикль, а перед существительными во множественном числе и перед неисчисляемыми существительными – местоимение any.
There isn’t an air bag in my car.
В моей машине нет (ни одной) подушки безопасности.
There weren’t any messages for me yesterday.
Вчера для меня не было (никаких) сообщений.
Во-вторых, отрицание может быть выражено с помощью местоимения no. Оно ставится перед существительным и является его определением:
There’s no milk in this store.
В этом магазине нет молока.
There are no trains to Moscow today.
Сегодня нет поездов на Москву.
