Oct 10, 2019 at 16:55	comment	added	FumbleFingers		I think there's a case for saying that the (idiomatically, less common) singular (She has no child) would often be seen as more emphatic than plural (She has no children). I bit like the difference between She doesn't have a single one and She doesn't have any. But that's a fine point, and may not always apply anyway.
Oct 10, 2019 at 16:47	comment	added	Mehul Pamale		Yes, Indeed. And what I have found from this link is it doesn't matter whether there should be singular or plural noun after the word "no"
Oct 10, 2019 at 16:37	comment	added	FumbleFingers		Because you've effectively asked *two* questions at once (my house have* or has, no window or windows), I don't know if I can cite the earlier question number of noun after no as a "duplicate". But it's certainly related*.

Oct 10, 2019 at 15:25	comment	added	FumbleFingers		The subject of the verb *to have* is *My house* (a *singular* noun), so the verb form must ALWAYS be singular My house has... It's syntactically valid to follow that with negated singular OR plural (no window / windows) with no significant change in meaning, but plural is far more common.
