Conjunctions: Correlative
There are four types of conjunctions: Coordinating, Subordinating, Conjunctive Adverbs, and
Correlative Conjunctions. See also the individual handouts for each of these types.
Correlative conjunctions are different from the other types because they work in pairs, joining
words, phrases, or clauses that are eual !noun to noun, for e"ample#.
There are only five pairs to remember:
both. . .and
either. . .or
neither. . .nor
not only. . .but !also#
whether. . .or
The conjunctions must go directly in front of the words, phrases or clauses being joined.
Two subjects: Both $ary and Tom stayed late.
Two verbs: %ason will either go to $&C or take a job for a year.
Two phrases: Not only in the morning but also in the afternoon, ' nap.
Two independent clauses: Either ' will stay home, or ' will go to work.
Note: (e sure to separate independent clauses with a comma, the same as with a
coordinating conjunction.
(ecause b o t h. . . a n d adds ideas together, a plural verb is necessary when subjects are
joined.
Both the dog and the cat a r e very friendly.
)hen e it h e r. . . o r , n ei t h e r. . . n o r , n o t o n l y . . .b u t a l s o and ! h e t h e r. . . or join subjects, the
verb matches the second subject only.
Either the T* or the neighbors a r e making a lot of noise.
Either the neighbors or the T* is making a lot of noise.
Neither Stephen nor the girls are in the house.
Neither the girls nor Stephen is in the house.
Not only +im but also +im,s parents a r e coming for a visit.
Not only +im,s parents but also +im is coming for a visit.
"hether the dogs or the cat s t a y s at home hasn,t been decided.
"hether the cat or the dogs st ay at home hasn,t been decided.
Rev July 2009 More
"heth e r . . . or is somewhat different from the other correlative conjunctions. 'n the
preceding sentence -)hether the dogs or the cat stays home. is a noun clause !a dependent
clause# that is the subject for the verb -hasn,t been decided.. Also, a shortened form with -not.
is often used with negatives.
"hether ' work or ' don,t work, ' still want to get paid.
"hether ' work or not, ' still want to get paid.
Note: 'n both of the preceding sentences, the ! h ether. . . o r clause is an adverb clause
!a dependent clause#.
N e it h e r . . . n o r means -not one and not the other,. so it is important to avoid adding -not.
in the sentence, or this will result in a double negative. /owever, with n o t o nl y . . . b u t als o, it
is correct to have an additional -not. to indicate a negative. These sentences have basically the
same message:
Neither do ' like (ob nor do ' want to see him.
Not only do ' not like (ob, but also ' do not want to see him.
)hen n e it h e r. . . n o r and n o t o n l y . . . b u t also are used to join independent clauses, the
subject and verb after the negative parts of the paired conjunctions must be reversed, often
reuiring the addition of a form of do !do, does, did#.
Neither do ' w a n t to study, nor do ' w a n t to work.
Both neither and nor include the negative not, so the subjects and verbs in
both clauses have to be reversed.
Not only d o es / a rr y purr a lot, but also he sleeps 01 hours a day.
Only not only includes the negative not, so the subject and verb only in the
irst clause need to be reversed.
Conjunctions
This section introduces you to the topic called conjunctions. Conjunctions are joining words.
They join subjects of two simple sentences to make one simple sentence. Conjunctions
commonly used are: and, but, both and, either or, neither nor, and not onlybut
also.
What is in this Unit?
This unit consists of 3 sections:
Section 1 The use of and, but, both And.
Section 2 The use of either or, neither nor.
Section 3 The use of not only but also.
Section 1: The use of and, but, both
and
In this Section, you will look at the following conjunctions: and, but and both and. When
we join subjects of two sentences of the same idea to make one sentence, we use and.
For example:
1. My father is fying to Paris.
2. My mother is fying to Paris.
Look at these two sentences. They both have the same idea. The idea is fying to Paris.
Therefore, the conjunction which can be used to
join the two ideas is and.
Like this:
My father and mother are fying to Paris. a) Now look at this
example again.
My father is fying to Paris.
My mother is not fying to Paris.
Are the ideas the same in these two sentences?

Of course they are not. In the frst sentence: My father is fying to

Paris while in the second sentence:
My mother is not fying to Paris.
Therefore, conjunction and can not be used. Instead but is used to join two diferent ideas in
one sentence as shown below:
My father is fying to Paris but mother is not.
In the above sentence, it can be seen that the word fying is not repeated as it has already
been written.
Look at the use of both with and in the sentence below:: My father and mother are fying to Paris.

#he "hite Butter$l yAn old man named Takahama lived in a little house behind the cemetery of
the templeof So?anji. /e was e"tremely friendly and generally liked by his neighbours, though

get married./e did not have the desire for intimate relationship with women.@ne summer day he
became very ill, so ill, in fact, that he sent for his sisterAinAlaw and her son. They both came and
did all they could to bring comfort during his last hours. )hile Takahama fell asleep, they watched
a large white butterfl y fl ew into the room and rested on the old man,s pillow. The young man
tried to drive it away with a fanB but it came back three times, as if it was very loath to leave the
sufferer.At last Takahama,s nephew chased it out into the garden, through the gate, and into
thecemetery beyond, where it lingered over a woman,s tomb, and then mysteriously
disappeared.@n e"amining the tomb the young man found the name -Akiko. written upon it,
together with a description narrating how Akiko died when she was eighteen. Though the tomb
was covered with moss and must have been erected fi fty years previously, the boy saw that it was
surrounded with fl owers, and that the little water tank had been recently fi lled.)hen the young
man returned to the house he found that Takahama had passed away,and he returned to his mother
and told her what he had seen in the cemetery.-Akiko5. murmured his mother. -)hen your uncle
was young he was betrothed to Akiko.She died shortly before her wedding day. )hen Akiko left
this world your uncle resolved never to marry, and to live ever near her grave. Cor all these years
he has remained faithful to his vow, and kept in his heart all the sweet memories of his one and
only love. Dvery day Takahama went to the cemetery, whether the air was fragrant with summer
bree?e or thick with falling snow. Dvery day he went to her grave and prayed for her happiness,
swept the tomb and set fl owers there.)hen Takahama was dying, and he could no longer perform
his loving task, Akiko came for him. That white butterfl y was her sweet and loving soul..

cried. -And ' had to do it. /ere. She gave the parcel to %im,. you see, -' had to sell my hair to get

)hen %im opened it, he collapsed on a chair. -' think we,d better put our presents away for
a while,. he said gently at last, -;ou see, ',ve sold my watch to but this comb for your hair.. /e
