Tragic, every skirt should have pockets

Is スカートには still correct or can I not use には in negative sentences and have to use は only?

[kelseyprudhomme]

I got so caught up in the thrill of having pockets that I missed the ません at the end there

Kono sukato wa poketto ga ari masen.

[PurpleMaia]

Maybe we'll get pockets in the next duolingo update. sobs in reluctant purse usage

[MelvinWint]

Why only pockets (plural)? I typed "This skirt has no pocket" and it was marked wrong.

[luthienmpl]

English always uses plural in sentences like this, unless the topic is a specific object that is being looked for, or if the object is an “uncountable“ noun i.e. “There is no money in my pocket“

[Kevin121657]

You would only use the singular if you were only looking for a single pocket or at least 1 pocket instead of pockets in general.

[Ibikineko]

Should 'there aren't any pockets in this skirt' be accepted?

[MyriamCordaro]

"There are no pockets on this skirt" is accepted.

[Michael253166]

一番いいファッションデザイナーになりたがっていれば、ポケットがあるスカートやドレスを作った方がいいんですよ。

[chris386664]

English not being my native language, could you tell me why the translation "this skirt hasn't any pocket" is wrong ?
Is this a English problem or a Duolingo problem ?

[Beebee201909]

That would be like saying "This skirt has not any pockets", which is an old way of speech, also usually you don't use 'any' with a singular. (Unless you want to say there's none of something left "There isn't any pizza")

[chris386664]

Thanks a very lot :)

[joe_lmr]

it's not grammatically wrong but it's kind of an archaic way of saying it.

[terpis]

Not surprised, just disappointed

[Vorakas]

"This skirt dont have pockets" was wrong, broken english ?

[Beebee201909]

Yes, it sounds a bit off, instead use “doesn’t”
