GRAMMAR REVISION

1) SUSTANTIVOS CONTABLES (que admiten pluralización)

Después de no o not any (ningún, ninguno/a) se usa un sustantivo en plural. Lo mismo ocurre con any en interrogativo. Le sigue siempre un sustantivo en plural (aunque en español se lo traduzca en singular).

Observa que tanto el sustantivo como el verbo van en plural:

There are NO pianos at home  >>  No hay piano en casa
There are NOT ANY pianos at home  >>  No hay piano en casa
Are there ANY pianos in your house?  >>  ¿Hay piano en tu casa?

2) SUSTANTIVOS NO CONTABLES (que no admiten pluralización)
En este caso, los ejemplos son los siguientes (observa que tanto el sustantivo como el verbo van en singular):
 

There is NO sugar at home  >>  No hay nada de azúcar en casa
There is NOT ANY sugar at home  >>  No hay nada de azúcar en casa
Is there ANY sugar in your house?  >>  ¿Hay algo de azúcar en tu casa?
