“Both / And” Correlative Conjunctions!
What are Correlative Conjunctions?
They are words that work in pairs...
...to join a word or a group of words...
...of equal value in a sentence.
Note that the words used for this purpose come from different parts of English.
They are used to give equal emphasis to a pair of main clauses.
Here are some
examples to study.
Notice that there are two conjunctions or word combinations in each sentence!
The word combinations in each sentence are used together as examples!
