Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that work together to join words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. They are used to show the relationship between two elements that are connected in the sentence. Examples of correlative conjunctions include "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and," "not only...but also."
