Correlative Conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions are conjunctions used to show how two words or phrases in a sentence relate to each other.

Correlative conjunctions come in pairs and work together to connect elements in a sentence.
Though the words or phrases connected by a correlative conjunction can be used or discussed independently of one another, joining them with correlative conjunction makes your writing clear and concise.

Some examples of correlative conjunctions include
***both … and,
either … or
neither … nor
rather … than
not only...but also
no sooner...than
hardly...when ***.

Example:

I don’t know why, but both Jack and Amy have stopped coming for play.
I need flowers that are either red or pink. (Two options)
She prefers tea rather than coffee. (Indicates a preferred option)
Not only inflation increased in economy but growth also stagnated.
