You must use \u201ceither\u2026or,\u201d \u201cnot only\u2026but also,\u201d exactly as they are\u2014never substitute \u201ceither\u2026and\u201d or \u201cnot only\u2026also.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Perfect parallelism is non-negotiable. Whatever grammatical structure follows the first part of the pair must match the second part exactly (noun + noun, verb + verb, phrase + phrase, clause + clause).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Subject-verb agreement follows the proximity rule. With \u201ceither\u2026or\u201d and \u201cneither\u2026nor,\u201d the verb agrees with whichever subject is closest to it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Use correlative conjunctions when you want to create impact, draw comparisons, or give equal weight to two ideas\u2014not just for basic connections.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Common errors include mixing pairs (<em>either\/nor<\/em>, <em>not only\/and also<\/em>), breaking parallelism, or using them redundantly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h2>What Are Correlative Conjunctions?<\/h2>\n<p>Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that always work together to join two equal parts of a sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Their main job is to connect words, phrases, or clauses that have the same function or importance in a sentence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- inline-cta --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the sentence <strong>\u201cEither the manager or the assistant will respond,\u201d<\/strong> the pair <strong><em>\u201ceither\u2026or\u201d<\/em><\/strong> is linking two possible subjects: the manager and the assistant. Both are equal in the structure, and the sentence wouldn\u2019t make sense without both parts of the pair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s a simple formula to understand how they work:<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Correlative A + Element 1 + Correlative B + Element 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using our example:<\/strong><br \/>Either (Correlative A) + the manager (Element 1) + or (Correlative B) + the assistant (Element 2)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/assets\/correlative-conjunctions\/correlative-conjunctions-001-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Here are the two key rules of correlative conjunctions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first one is <strong>balance.<\/strong> What comes after the first part of the pair must match what comes after the second.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t link a noun to a verb or a clause to a phrase\u2026 it has to be apples to apples.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing is that these conjunctions come in <strong>fixed pairs.<\/strong> You can\u2019t mix and match them. <strong>For instance,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can\u2019t say \u201ceither with and\u201d or \u201cnot only with but\u201d \u2014 the second part would be incorrect and break the structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What They Are and How They Work<\/h3>\n<p>Correlative conjunctions always work in pairs to link two elements like two subjects, two predicates, two adjectives, or even two entire clauses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This pairing creates a clear connection between the elements that makes your writing more structured, logical, and often more emphatic.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s break it down with a <strong>correlative conjunctions example<\/strong>:<br \/><strong>Correct:<\/strong> Not only was she intelligent, but also hardworking.<\/p>\n<p>Here, <strong>\u201cnot only\u2026but also\u201d<\/strong> connects two adjectives i.e., intelligent and hardworking. Both describe the subject and are equal in weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now compare it with this:<\/strong><br \/><strong>Incorrect:<\/strong> Not only was she intelligent, and also hardworking.<\/p>\n<p>This version fails for two reasons:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>\u201cNot only\u201d<\/strong> requires <strong>\u201cbut also\u201d<\/strong> to complete the pair <strong>\u201cand also\u201d<\/strong> is a mismatch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The flow is broken. <strong>\u201cNot only\u201d<\/strong> sets up a certain rhythm and expectation.
