Hey, people. This is my first post and thread around here (I would introduce myself, but I didn't find any thread about it) and I'd like to get this question answered, please. Sometimes I see "without" and "with no", I don't know if there's a difference between them.

This example: "A man with no past"

Could I use "A man without past"?

Thanks and see ya!

Olá Boris,

"With no" pode equivaler a "without a","without any".Veja:

1.A man with no past./A man without a past.(Um homem sem passado.)
2.Coffee with no sugar./Coffee without any sugar.(Café sem açúcar.)

Bons estudos!

Pelo Google a forma with no past pareceu-me mais comum.

Thanks! I wanted to solve this doubt and didn't find an explanation anywhere. See you!
