==============================================================================
We don’t usually use ‘of’ with determiners unless it’s with another determiner:
Most of the people, Both of my parents

And a pronoun
Neither of them, All of us
==============================================================================
‘No’, ‘none’ and ‘neither’ are determiners with a negative meaning, so avoid using them the negative form of verbs
