Grammar Handbook: Correlative Conjunctions

whether….or both….and neither….nornot only….but alsoeither….or• RULES1. Use correlative

conjunctions to connect words, phrases, and clauses, (sentences).

2. Correlative conjunctions must be used as a pair.

3. When connecting two clauses, use a comma before the second clause

– Ex: Either I could let the dog out first, or I could feed him dinner first.

– Either you are for us, or you are against us.

– Both parts could stand alone as sentences. This makes them both clauses.
