LOIEnglish Bansal! You and Marco are both correct. In sentence 8 you can use: She is (not) a beer drinker. (She isnt a beer drinker.) or sometimes in this case we can use an idiomatic expression that uses no: She is no beer drinker. This adds emphasis to the idea that she really doesnt like or drink beer. Another example: She is no dummy. Sergyo 1. I have not seen my mother in a few months. 2. There arent any beers in the refrigerator. 3. I have no beer. 4. I dont like beer anyway. 5. No, I don ´t. 6.
