	Julie & Ethan  #258151  Tue, 22 Aug 06 11:31 AM Is this sentence correct? White chocolate, however, does not contain cocoa mass and therefore does not taste like nor has the characterestic colour of cacao.    Julie & Ethan Joined on Sun, Aug 20 2006 Cydonia New Member (09)

	Nef  #258353  Wed, 23 Aug 06 12:10 AM White chocolate, however, does not contain cocoa mass and therefore does not taste like nor has the characterestic colour of cacao. ------------------------------------------- I think I'd make one change: 'have' instead of 'has' This is because of the earlier 'does not taste like nor' -------------- 'it has' - yes But, 'it does have' or 'it does not have' (not 'it does has' or 'it does not has')    Nef Joined on Sun, Jan 1 2006 California, USA Regular Member (638)

	Ant_222  #258359  Wed, 23 Aug 06 12:22 AM I think the «doesn't» reffers to the word «taste» only, so «has» sounds ok. Isn't it so?    Ant_222 Joined on Sun, May 21 2006 Podolsk, Russia Contributing Member (1,545)

No. does not      taste like         nor      have =        does not     taste like and does not     have Compare: Gary does not jog nor run.  (*runs). This liquid does not look like nor feel like oil.  (*feels) Helen doesn't read nor write English. (*writes) or can be used in place of nor in all of the sentences above, including the original doesn't taste like or have. CJ    CalifJim
