There is no milk in the fridge. There isn't any milk in the fridge.

Sorry, bottle)

Yes you can, and there are two minor differences: If it's specifically a MILK bottle and you find it empty, you say: There isn't milk in the bottle. (in other words it's a milk bottle with no milk). But if it's any bottle that had milk in it, you would say: There isn't any milk in the bottle. (in other words, "you told me you put some milk in that red bottle, but I just looked and there isn't any.)

never heard of these nuances. thank you Uly!

Anytime, buddy)

A better example would be "there's no gas in the tank" (here you know they're talking about a gas tank in a car and not a portable tank for gas)

I've always wondered about "any" in negative sentences too. Thanks, Uly:)

You're very welcome 😊

I'm so sorry but honestly I didn't feel difference. Thanks) I'll try to realise it)

It just hit me, I could copy some comments and post them on my mailbox for further reviewing. No copyright, Uly?

It seems I understood it) Thanks a lot)

Absolutely. Good idea, Tatiana.
