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.
