They wouldn't let us in, nor would they explain what we had done wrong. Another example of clauses or sentences linked is: I like reading books, and I also enjoy watching movies. There are also correlative conjunctions, where as well as the basic conjunction, an additional element appears before the first of the items being linked. [33]
For example, in the sentence "She likes apples and oranges", the coordinator and connects two elements (apples and oranges) of equal importance. In contrast, in the sentence "She knew that he was lying", the subordinator that marks the clause "he was lying" as subordinate to the main clause "She knew".
For some other uses of the English words either and neither: Correlative conjunction; English determiners; Indefinite pronoun; Wiktionary entries for either and neither; Or (disambiguation) Nor (disambiguation) All pages with titles beginning with Either; All pages with titles beginning with Neither; Ether Or
For example, after is a preposition in "he left after the fight" but a conjunction in "he left after they fought". In general, a conjunction is an invariant (non-inflecting) grammatical particle that stands between conjuncts. A conjunction may be placed at the beginning of a sentence, [1] but some superstition about the practice persists. [2]
An example is Japanese, which conjugates verbs in the negative after adding the suffix -nai (indicating negation), e.g. taberu ("eat") and tabenai ("do not eat"). It could be argued that English has joined the ranks of these languages, since negation requires the use of an auxiliary verb and a distinct syntax in most cases; the form of the ...
South Korea and a U.S.-led U.N. force are technically still at war with North Korea and the idea of an official peace deal to change that is neither new, nor something that can be resolved in a ...
In Boolean logic, logical NOR, [1] non-disjunction, or joint denial [1] is a truth-functional operator which produces a result that is the negation of logical or. That is, a sentence of the form ( p NOR q ) is true precisely when neither p nor q is true—i.e. when both p and q are false .
It is fair to assume that neither sentence (1) nor (2) had ever previously occurred in an English discourse. Hence, in any statistical model that accounts for grammaticality, these sentences will be ruled out on identical grounds as equally "remote" from English. Yet (1), though nonsensical, is grammatical, while (2) is not grammatical.
