Which is correct and why? :up:

Hi;
did they fail:tick: → “nor” is marginal coordinator→we have inversion

they failed:cross: → because of two reasons:1. lexical verb can never appear in the sructure of a “code” ,we need auxiliary.
2.after “nor” we have inversion

All the best,;-)

 

[balack4u]

the correct answer is number 2 because when we use nor we should make inversion so the verb comes befor the subject.

 

[Chow1679]

should the answer be "neither did they fail?"

 

[Tdol]

It's an alternative. ;-)

 

[Isra]

uffaaa:-( , this time I failed...

 

[Tdol]

Better luck next time. ;-)

 

[nosayr]

failed this time,!!!
i voted for the first option..
good luck to me next time :lol:

 

[JACOOL]

is it a negative form of "so did they"?

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Nor is a contraction of "and+not+either" think of it in these terms and the answer becomes obvious. You don't use a negative after it because then you would have double negation and it would be out of sync with the first phrase which is a negative sentence. In order to have appropriate parallelism we must choose the second answer as the first answer is incorrect as it does not have the necessary participle.

 

[JACOOL]

thanks Marcus

 

[beastmaster]

second one is true because the answer is simple ---inversion

 

[chamour]

did they fail is the correct one since other are not!!

 

[chamour]

did they fail is correct since others are not.:lol:

 

[csharp]

I think the third is correct.
They weren't successful, and nor did they fail.
But
They weren't successful, but nor didn't they fail.

 

[Tdol]

Csharp- 'nor didn't' is a double negative. ;-)

 

[csharp]

oh yeah. Thanks

 

[Tdol]

You're welcome.

Hi!

I'm sorry , mayby first one's is correct because second and third are like question did they? this is my opinion, just remember and translate to your language.:roll:

 

[Epica]
