Understanding Correlative Conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that work together to connect equal parts of a sentence. Common examples include 'either...or,' 'neither...nor,' 'both...and,' 'not only...but also,' and 'whether...or.' Proper usage of these pairs enhances clarity and grammatical correctness. In many instances, errors occur when the pairs are mismatched or improperly placed within sentences. Recognizing the correct structure is essential for effective writing and communication.
