The word ‘for’ is used to explain a reason or purpose. It can be used in a similar way to ‘because’.

We can use ‘nor’ to offer an alternative negative idea to another negative idea.
e.g. I would rather not have to play basketball, nor do I want to play football.

BUT
The conjunction ‘but’ is used to show contrast or to compare ideas.
e.g. The ferris wheel was pretty fun, but the roller coaster was my favourite!

We use the word ‘or’ to present a choice or alternative idea.
e.g. You can finish the leftover pasta for lunch, or you can make a toasted sandwich..
