Chevy Bel Air 01  +  369879 Thu, 24 May 07 06:16 PM could anyone write down a couple of sentences which begins with "nor". -shorter than the one below, please. "Nor is there a trace of those rivers of milk, wine, fresh waterand honey described with such flourish, not in the Koran, but by visionary dreamers like Ibn Arabi." thanks Chevy Bel Air 01 Joined on Fri, Mar 9 2007 Germany/Türkiye New Member 50

	Yankee  +  369890 Thu, 24 May 07 06:49 PM The word 'nor' is a conjunction and would typically be used in mid-sentence. Your sentence adds additional negative ideas to ones that have already been stated in a previous sentence.

	Puzzled  +  369899 Thu, 24 May 07 07:04 PM Hi, Here are some examples: I have explained the situation again and again but you refuse to accept it. Nor do you even try to do so. Some people never stop talking.  Nor do they ever listen to what you say, which is worse.   Puzzled Puzzled Joined on Thu, Apr 19 2007 New Member 11

	Chevy Bel Air 01  +  369901 Thu, 24 May 07 07:14 PM You mean "I haven't encountered the rivers flowing beside the silver and gold kiosks of Heaven, the broad-leaved trees bearing plump fruit and the beautiful virgins mentioned in the Glorious Koran - though I do very well recall how often and enthusiastically I made pictures of those wide-eyed houris described in the chapter "`That Which Is Coming.`" Nor is there a trace of those rivers of milk, wine, fresh waterand honey described with such flourish, not in the Koran, but by visionary dreamers like Ibn Arabi. Is this sentence comparable with ....neither.....nor? Chevy Bel Air 01

They not once listen to what you say, which is worse. Chevy Bel Air 01

	Yankee  +  369941 Thu, 24 May 07 08:15 PM Hi Chevy Bel Air To say the same thing that Puzzled said, you could say this: Some people never stop talking. They also do not listen to what you say, which is worse. Yes, your original use of 'nor' is similar to 'neither ... nor'.  The "neither" part would have been stated in a previous sentence.  However, the word neither was probably not used.  Instead, the previous sentence would have been a negative one (or had a definite negative sense).
