Explanation
No one means not a single person; it is used to show that nobody is involved in something. It is often used to describe situations where there are zero people doing or being something. You can use it when talking about people who are not present, not helping, or not participating. For example, if a room is empty, you can say “no one is here”. It’s very similar in meaning to nobody, but “no one” is more formal in writing.
