Conjunction has three types:
Coordinating: connects two parts of a sentence with equal importance.
Subordination:connects the two parts of a sentence with unequal importance.
Corlative: *Correlative Conjunctions*
A correlative conjunction is a type of conjunction that is used to connect two equal grammatical elements within a sentence. These conjunctions work in pairs to join words, phrases, or clauses that have equal importance in the sentence structure. They are often used to show a relationship of balance or contrast between the connected elements.
An example of a correlative conjunction is "not only...but also." This pair of conjunctions is used to connect two parallel elements in a sentence, emphasizing both elements and showing their relationship. Here's an example sentence:
*Not only* did she win the race, *but also* she broke the record.
In this example, "not only" and "but also" are the correlative conjunctions that connect the two parallel elements: winning the race and breaking the record. The correlative conjunctions emphasize both actions and show their relationship.
Correlative conjunctions can also include pairs like "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and," "whether...or," and "not...but." These pairs of conjunctions serve similar purposes of connecting equal elements and showing relationships of balance or contrast.
