Correlate Conjunctions

Correlate Conjunctions are always used in pairs.

They show the relationship between the ideas expressed in different parts of a sentence.

 

Examples:

Not only...but also  He not only smokes but also drinks every day

Rather...than         He is very honest.He would rather starve than steal

Either...or              Either you or she must wash the window in the kitchen

Such...that            They are such nice people that we can visit them next week

As...as                  She comes to visit her grandparents as often as she can

Not...but               Not Ela but her sister is owner of the big flat

test yourself:
