Explanation
None means not one, not any, or nothing of a group. It is used when there is zero quantity of something. For example, if you had ten cookies and ate all of them, you could say “I have none left”. It can also mean nobody in a group, like “None of the students answered the question correctly”. It’s a simple way to express that something does not exist, is unavailable, or is absent.
