Correlative conjunctions function much like coordinating conjunctions – to relate one sentence element to another. The only difference between correlative conjunctions from coordinating conjunctions is that they always come in pairs.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most common pairs of correlative conjunctions:<\/p>\n

either\/or<\/strong>
\nI am saving up to go on a trip either<\/strong><\/em> to Machu Picchu or<\/strong><\/em> Petra.<\/p>\n

both\/and<\/strong>
\nI’ll have both<\/strong> <\/em>the cashmere and<\/strong> <\/em>wool jacket.<\/p>\n

whether\/or<\/strong>
\nThey were wondering whether<\/strong> <\/em>to go for a drive or<\/strong> <\/em>take a plane to Lisbon.<\/p>\n

neither\/nor <\/strong>
\nNeither<\/strong> <\/em>our boss nor<\/strong> <\/em>our client approved this proposal.<\/p>\n

not only\/but also<\/strong>
\nHe not only<\/strong><\/em> made a scene at the party but he also<\/strong> <\/em>disrespected the hosts.<\/p>\n

not\/but <\/strong>
\nShe is in need not<\/strong> <\/em>of financial but<\/strong> <\/em>moral support from her family and friends.<\/p>\n

as\/as<\/strong>
\nSwimming is not as <\/strong>dangerous <\/strong>as<\/strong><\/em> bungee jumping.<\/p>\n

such\/that<\/strong>
\nIt was such<\/strong> a difficult project that<\/strong> I ended up getting burned-out.<\/p>\n

scarcely\/when<\/strong>
\nShe had scarcely<\/strong> arrived to work when<\/strong> she got a call from her supervisor.<\/p>\n

as many\/as<\/strong>
\nThere weren\u2019t as many<\/strong> books to choose from at the bookstore as<\/strong> I thought.<\/p>\n

no sooner\/than<\/strong>
\nShe’d no sooner<\/strong> <\/em>started working than<\/strong><\/em> there was a power outage and she had no electricity.<\/p>\n

rather\/than<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d rather<\/strong><\/em> get a taxi than<\/strong><\/em> take the bus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
