You use nor after a negative statement in order to introduce another negative statement which adds information to the previous one. Cooking up a quick dish doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavour. Nor does fast food have to be junk food. = neither. A logical operator that consists of a logical OR followed by a logical NOT and returns a true value only if both operands are false. When using neither in a balanced construction that negates two parts of a sentence, nor (not or) must be used in the second clause: She is neither able nor (not or) willing to go. Similarly, when negating the second of two negative independent clauses, nor (not or) must be used: He cannot find anyone now, nor does he expect to find anyone in the future; Jane will never compromise with Bill, nor will Bill compromise with Jane. Note that in these constructions, nor causes an inversion of the auxiliary verb and the subject (does he... will Bill...). However, when a verb is negated by not or never, and is followed by a verb phrase that is also to be negated (but not an entire clause), either or or nor can be used: He will not permit the change, or (or nor) even consider it. In noun phrases of the type no this or that, or is actually more common than nor: He has no experience or interest (less frequently nor interest) in chemistry. Or is also more common than nor when such a noun phrase, adjective phrase, or adverb phrase is introduced by not: He is not a philosopher or a statesman. They were not rich or happy.

He doesn't want to live in the country when he grows up, nor does he want to live in the city. = neither
