Could anybody tell me if the above sentences are correct, please?

Thanks.

Now they are better, IMO.
 
You have no dictionary? I can lend you one.

ps. charlie got there first.
 
Is it correct to say "You have no dictionaries? I can lend you some"? I know "There are no has to be followed by a plural.

Thanks.



 
The answer could still be "I can lend you one" if the listener could do just with it.
 
Hello.
I am a littile bit confused:
You have no dictionary = You don't have a dictionary?

Nickle.

Yes, and in speech, we sometimes use a statement with rising intonation as a question, instead of asking Don't you have a dictionary?
