Nor
Hi teachers, please teach me if/whether (are both OK?) I use nor correctly in the sentence below...
'She doesn't know what to respond to that nor looks like she really cares much either."
And is the sentence otherwise correct and understandable?
Top answer
She doesn't know how to respond to that nor look like she really cares much either. With "nor", this is a rather formal-sounding sentence. More conversationally, you could use "or", or say: She doesn't know how to respond to that, and she doesn't look like she really cares much either.
