Nor

Hi,

I know that "nor" is conjunction in the set of "neither ...nor". I wonder how they use "nor" without "neither".
"French is not the private property of French people, nor English of English people."


Your example above is fine. Here are a few other examples.

This car does not belong to Tom, nor (does it belong) to Ma

Thanks Clive,

In your example:"Nor can I". Can I use "Neither" instead of "Nor"?"Neither can I". Why do you use "Nor" instead of "Neither"? Is there difference?

Thanks.

Hi,

In your example:"Nor can I". Can I use "Neither" instead of "Nor"?"Neither can I". Yes

Why do you use "Nor" instead of "Neither"? Is there difference? Some people say 'nor' is a bit more informal, but both words here seem informal to me.

Best wishes, Clive

I think "nor" is more formal, actually.
For example, I think "Neither do I" is a much more frequent choice in ordinary everyday AmE compared to "Nor do I".

10No, you don't have a 01u00doubt02u00. You have a 01u00question02u00. 01i00doubt02i00 is not used that way in English! (If you have a doubt about something, it means you don't believe it completely.)02br

00You have the right idea, but that short little easy sentence would be much better with a standard format and word order. 02br

Never ever use "nor" without "neither." You will invariably create a double negative. Keep in mind that if "or" is correct, "nor" can't be! To emphasize, do not substitute "nor" for "neither." "Neither" means "not either" and is probably what is intended.
