What's the difference between "I don't have ..." and "I have no ..." ?
For example,
"I have no time to do it." or "I don't have any time to do it"
thank you for your answers!
Not is a function word (adverb) used to negate a word or a group of words.
I have time to do it.........I do not (have any time to do it.).
I have eaten my dinner........I have not (eaten my dinner).
I love you because you are beautiful.......I love you, but not (because you are beautiful).
'No' can be an adjective meaning 'not any' or 'harldy any' or 'not a'.
I have no time.
I have no money.
There is no answer to that question.
She is no doctor.
These forms all have the same meaning:
I have no time.
I don't have any time.
I haven't any time.......an older form but still used where I live.

Sentence structure - They mean the same thing. The only difference is the placement of the negative word "no(t)". I have NO time. I have NOT any time. There's NO time. There isN'T any time.
My personal preference would be to say "I don't have the time." or "I don't have any time."
