Explanation
Nor is a word used to join two negative ideas in a sentence. It shows that both things are not happening, not true, or not chosen. We often use it after words like âneitherâ, ânotâ, or another negative phrase. For example, âShe didnât call, nor did she send a message.â It helps make speech and writing clearer by connecting two negatives smoothly. You can think of it as a way to say âalso notâ in a more formal or correct way.
