Hello!
Could you please help me? I have 3 questions to clear up:
- Is it correct to ask "Do you have siblings" or "Do you have aunts and uncles?" without the word "any"? In the second exemple can I use "and" or should I use "or"?
- Is the sentence "I have no siblings" correct? I've heard that if we don't speak about abstract things we should use "don't/doesn't have".

@clairep,
There is a difference between what is correct and what sounds natural.

All of your examples are "correct," but none of them sound natural.

They sound artificial, peculiar even.

You would say aunts and uncles, it's not an either or situation, it's possible to have none, just one, or both.
