Here's why:
* Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank.
* Nor is typically used with the conjunction "neither," creating a correlative conjunction pair. This pair is used to express a negative connection between two elements.
Example:
> "I neither want to go to the party nor do I have time for it."
In this example, "neither" and "nor" connect two clauses of equal rank, both expressing a negative sentiment.
