Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that work together to join words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. Common examples include "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and," and "not only...but also." These conjunctions are used to show a relationship between two elements in a sentence and are important for creating balanced and parallel structures.

Coordinating conjunctions join grammatical equivalents (green and white, green or white, green yet white), subordinating conjunctions make one clause dependent on the other (since she wore green, she cheered for the other team), and Correlative Conjunctions work in pairs but still join grammatical equivalents (not only green but also white, whether green or white, both green and white). Diagramming explanation. Conjunctions will be placed on dotted lines because they are joining words. So the lines on which they are diagrammed are broken because they simply function to join groups of words, phrases, or clauses. So there will be intervening words before and after the conjunctions—thus the broken lines. The following is a sample sentence for Correlative Conjunctions: Note that we’ll wait just a bit to demonstrate the subordinating conjunction until after we introduce the concept of diagramming multiple clauses in one sentence....

If the sentence has only one main verb, it is usually placed before the second part of these conjunctions; using a comma to separate the two parts is optional. From the following list, you already know the first two (see 4.7): خواه … خواه [ khāh … khāh …] and … چه … چه [ che … che …] both mean “whether … or …”:.من خواهم رفت، چه تو بیائی چه نیائی (I’ll go, whether you come or you don’t.).باید آن را بخوانی، خواه خوشت بیاید خواه نه (You must read it, whether you like it or not.)
