Usually, native speakers teach me to join 2 negative verb phrases by using "neither..nor", "be not...nor" or "or":
1) I have neither revised my exam nor turned in my homework.
2) I have not revised my exam, nor have I turned in my homework.
3) I have not revised my exam or turned in my homework.
But is it correct to use "and" to link up 2 negative phrases?
i.e. I have not revised my exam and turned in my homework.
If you advise me against using it, can you provide me some reasons? Like, it is not grammatical at all to link 2 negative verb phrases with an "and".
