Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that work together to connect equal parts of a sentence. Common examples include 'either...or,' 'neither...nor,' and 'both...and.' For instance, in the sentence 'You can have either pizza or pasta for dinner,' the words 'either' and 'or' link two options. These conjunctions help make writing clearer by showing relationships between ideas. When using correlative conjunctions, it's important that the parts they connect are similar in structure. For example, in 'She likes both chocolate and vanilla ice cream,' the two flavors are equally important and balanced in the sentence.
