The word "nor" is used to connect two negative ideas or statements. It often follows the word "neither," which introduces the first negative idea. For example, you might say, "I like neither apples nor oranges." In this case, "nor" helps to emphasize that you do not like either fruit. "Nor" can also be used to add more negative information to a sentence. For instance, you could say, "She doesn't play tennis, nor does she enjoy soccer." Here, "nor" links the two negative statements about her interests, making it clear that she is not fond of either sport.
