EXPLANATION
Correlative Conjunction is a pair of phrases, used to connect the sentence elements (phrase/clause) that have the equal information. It means that we have to use both of them in the distinct places of sentence to make them work.
~ If an adjective follows "either", an adjective will also follow "or."
~ If a noun follows "not only", a noun should also follow "but also.'
The most commonly used correlative conjunctions are :
1] Neither-nor
- Neither the daily conversation nor the tight togetherness is needed for the strong friendship, it's an understanding.
- [Baik obrolan keseharian ataupun kebersamaan erat tak diperlukan dlm persahabatan yg kukuh, ini adalah sebuah pengertian]
Pattern :
➸ Neither+NP+nor+NP+.....
2] Either-or
- They can eat either Spaghetti or Pizza for their dinner.
- [Mereka bisa makan baik Spaghetti maupun Pizza sebagai mkn malamnya]
Pattern :
➸ Either+noun+or+noun+.....
3] Not only-but also
- She is not only wise but she's also beautiful.
- [Dia tak hanya bijaksana tetapi juga cantik]
Pattern :
➸ Not only+adjective+but also+adjective...
4] Both-and
- Both English and Math are difficult lessons.
- [B. Inggris dan Matematika pelajaran yg sulit]
Pattern :
➸ Both+noun+and+noun.....
The use of correlative conjunction is based on the equal grammatical structure. So, pay attention to the verb agreement, and proper parallel structure.
The example below is taken from one of your questions above :
My bag wasn't left in the locker. My bag wasn't left in the locker.
➡ Neither my bag nor my books [were] left in the locker.
- The sentence above has two subjects, "my bag and books."
- The second subject "books" must agree with the verb. Therefore, the auxiliary verb BE "were" is used and connected to its close plural subject. We must change the negative sentence into the positive form, by omitting the negative auxiliary verb BE "wasn't." The correlative conjunction "neither-nor" portrays the negative role, so take care to avoid an unintended double negative.
Remember, if the sentence contains one of these correlative conjunctions; neither-nor, either-or, not only-but also, we must pay attention to the verb, which adheres to its close subject form.
Meanwhile, the correlative conjunction "both-and" is always plural.
