I know that 'Nor' is the coordinating conjunction that is used to express an additional negative idea when a negative idea has already been stated in a sentence. For example:
1) He doesn't like cricket nor he enjoys basketball.
In the sentence above, nor is used to join two independent clauses.
But If I want to join two elements that are not independent clauses, would I use 'Nor' or the preferred coordinating conjunction should be 'Or'?
For example:
1) He can't play football nor basketball.
2) He can't play football or basketball.
1) He doesn't like cricket nor he enjoys basketball.
