if the verb is false, use not.
I do not want to kiss her (to want is a verb)
I am not leaving (to leave is a verb)
I do not have money (to have is a verb)
if the noun is false use not
I have no money (noun is money)

"No" in English can only be used in two ways. One is when somebody asks you a question and the answer is simply:"No". The other is when in Spanish you would say "ningún": "Ningún hombre razonable podrÃa pensar una cosa semejante." "No reasonable man would think such a thing".
When we use the negative in English, the word is "not". "No pienso" -- "I do not (or don't) think." "No quiero" -- "I do not (or don't) want".
So the rule is easy. It's nearly always "not" when you are expressing a negative. "No" is confined to the first two examples mentioned.

no will always be the yes or no answer or the account of a number simular to none (how many more would you like? No more, please)
not is a negitive comment on a helping verb.
I have not done that. I will not do that.
No one in English with say they have NO done that.

You need to put “not” in the right spot in a sentence to make it say what you intend.
No - (a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request)

what is your native language?
you say "no" to disagree or refuse.
example: "Do you want to eat pizza?" "No."
you say "not" to negate an action.
example: I eat pizza. Juan does NOT like pizza.
I hope this can help you.

It's improper to say, "He will say not.".
Use "no" every time.

sorry, I need more information. Can you give examples?
An example would be,
"I am not going."
"Are you going?"
"No, I am not going."
