    Default "No telling ..."


    "My doctor was great. There was no guilt. No blame. No telling me that something was my fault when it was pretty clear it wasn’t. Not to say that it couldn’t have been."

    Doesn’t NO go with noun? Shouldn't the underlined part be written Not telling?

    Thank you,

    It's fine as it is. 'Telling' is a gerund, a verbal noun.
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
