What to know
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that join equal parts of a sentence together. They work like teamwork buddies—you always use them in pairs! Common pairs include either/or, neither/nor, and both/and. For example: "You can have either the apple or the banana." Notice how both choices are treated equally!

Why Correlative Conjunctions Matter in Seventh Grade
By Grade 7, students are expected to write with greater complexity and variety. Correlative conjunctions—like not only/but also and neither/nor—are essential tools for constructing sophisticated sentences. They help young writers establish clear relationships between ideas, compare alternatives, and emphasize balance. Since these paired words were first introduced in Grade 5, seventh graders focus on polishing their usage to ensure subject-verb agreement and parallel structure.
Tips for Supporting Young Writers
When practicing at home or in the classroom, keep these tips in mind to build confidence:
- Check for parallelism: Ensure the grammatical structures following each partner word are balanced (e.g., matching nouns with nouns, or verbs with verbs).
- Watch the verb agreement: Pay close attention to singular and plural subjects when using either/or and neither/nor.
- Encourage aloud reading: Hearing the rhythm of paired conjunctions helps students spot natural-sounding structures.
