 WHAT IS CONJUNCTION?

 A conjunction is a part of speech that is

used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or
sentences. Conjunctions are considered to be
invariable grammar particle, and they may or
may not stand between items they conjoin.
 THE KINDS OF CONJUNCTION

3) Cumulative Conjunctions
4) Adversative Conjunctions
5) Alternative Conjunctions
6) Illative Conjunctions
7) Paired Conjunctions
 PAIRED CONJUNCTIONS

A correlative conjunction is a paired

conjunction (such as not only . . . but also)
that links balanced words, phrases, and
clauses. Also known as a paired coordinator
and a conjunctive pair
You have to use both of them in different
places in a sentence. For instance, both...
and...., neither... Nor..., not only... but also,
either.... or
 Both.... and ......
It is used for combining two elements words or
phrases of exactly same importance in a
sentence
Example:
 Both Maria and Jack are going to the library
 Adrian enjoyed both the movie and the
popcorn.
 Either.... Or....
This conjunction is commonly used to convey
a choice or possibilities. We can use ‘or’
separately as well but that would not
convey choice however an option.
Example:
 I want either the cheesecake or the frozen
hot chocolate.
Either Samuel or Chris must have done this
mischief.
 Neither.... Nor....
This conjunction is used to negate two
different choices. Neither is used with ‘nor’ to
indicate two or more people, things, actions,
etc. wherein something is not true.
Example:
 Jim is neither particularly stupid nor
extremely smart.
 Neither Batman, nor Superman can save
Gotham.
 Not only.... But also....
This conjunction is used to combine sentences that are
demonstrating two choices that are contradictorily typical. It is
used to say that both of two related statements or
sentences are true.
Example:
 His new car is not only super fast but also very luxurious.
 It snowed not only in Seattle, but also in neighboring cities
 Matt lied not once but twice to the judge.
