How to express inability to do something

Do you know that there are special constructions in Russian that describe inablity to perform an action due to some cause? To do so you should use a negative pronoun or adverb and then an infinitive.

For example:

Мне негде жить! I do not have anywhere to live!

Ему некому позвонить. He has no one to call.
