※ 引述《garbage512 (喬)》之銘言：
: I don't want banana nor strawberry.
^^^ i think here should be OR, not nor
: Sam doesn't need to go to school on Mondays nor on Wednesdays.
okay, its(i mean NOR) most common use is as the little brother in the
correlative pair, neither-nor (see below):
(1)He is neither sane nor brilliant.
That is neither what I said nor what I meant.
IMPORTANT! it can be used with other negative expressions:
(2)that is not what I meant to say, nor should you interpret my statement as an
admission of guilt.
it is POSSIBLE to use nor WITHOUT a preceding negative element, but it is
unusual and, to an extent, rather stuffy:
(3)George's handshake is as good as any written contract, nor has he ever
proven untrustworthy.
anyway, if u use "nor", that will cuz the whole sentence be a negative one.
just think that it's a negative conj. and it should be used together with
neither. that works! they cant live without each other!
*S1 not, nor S2
*S+ positive verb+ NEITHER +blahblah+ NOR +blahblah
These are two possibilties of its usage. ha i found that i didnt answer the Q
yesterday...
so take (2) for example again. the clause "nor should..." is in short form
(hey, i cant say it's abbrev.) of "and u should not"
then, let's see OR!
well, OR is used under the followin' conditions.
(a)to suggest that only one possibility can be realized, excluding one or the
other: "You can study hard for this exam or you can fail."
(b)to suggest the inclusive combination of alternatives: "We can broil chicken
on the grill tonight, or we can just eat leftovers.
(c)to suggest a refinement of the first clause: "Smith College is the premier
all-women's college in the country, or so it seems to most Smith College
alumnae."
(d)to suggest a restatement or "correction" of the first part of the sentence:
"There are no rattlesnakes in this canyon, or so our guide tells us."
(e)to suggest a negative condition: "The New Hampshire state motto is the rather
grim "Live free or die."
(f)to suggest a negative alternative without the use of an imperative (see use
of and above): "They must approve his political style or they wouldn't keep
electing him mayor."
t's hard to exlain why we use that eh?
btw i remember that there are 2 famous grammar book in tw. sth like...
the cover is green, 2 volumes, and for high school students.
dunno if it'll be too hard for them. i think they're useful!
have a good day :)
