PRACTICE correlative conjunctions WITH ME IN THE COMMENTS!
Think of similarities between your country and the U.S. Write sentences with "both...and" and "not only...but also." Write a sentence to show that 2 things are not true about both countries with "neither...nor." 😀
I will give you feedback on your sentences!
⬇️ How to use neither nor either or not only but also, etc. in this ESL grammar lesson with examples:
0:00 How to use correlative conjunctions
0:25 What are correlative conjunctions?
2:14 Both...and
3:31 Not only...but also
5:05 Inversion with not only but also
5:53 either...or
7:40 neither...nor
9:40 Practice with correlative conjunctions
If you make two-part subjects joined by “either . . . or,” “neither . . . nor,” or “not only . . . but also,” the verb should agree with the subject that is closer to the verb.
Example:
Neither your peers nor your teacher has the final say about your essay topic.
In this case, the verb must agree with “teacher” because it’s closest to the verb “has.”

Welcome
Hi, I just noticed something in your last sentence. Is it okay to use plural have for neither/nor? Neither my mom nor dad have been to Brazil.
Good catch! Yes, it's "okay" to use plural because that's what native speakers use most of the time for with this conjunction. However, according to prescriptive grammar, the singular is used here. There are some "mistakes" that everyone says (even very educated people!), so over time, they have become part of modern-day accepted English. Using singular with "neither nor" sounds awkward, and very few people use it, but if you're using English in very formal writing or on an exam like the IELTS or TOEFL, you should use the singular.
I used to
I read lots of documents and I never understood the meaning of “not only...but also” until now, thank you teacher ❤️
Wonderful! I'm so glad this helped you understand that meaning.
Thank you for making me understand correlative conjuntion😍😍😍
I am an English teacher for many years, but I enjoy listening to this teacher. I cannot, at the same time, understand why some people dislike this program.
Hi Hossein, Thank you for the kind words. I am glad that you found the video helpful. 😊
Thanks a lot you saved my day 💞😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Happy to help!
Thank you for this video, I have a question that confuses me, first of all, is "whether" a correlative conjonction, then, sometimes I see "whether" used alone as in (I forgot to ask whether he could give me a lift to the party.) and sometimes with "or" as in (Anyone, WHETHER rich OR poor, can be affected by a natural disaster.) sometimes even with "or not" as in (It is simply impossible to ascertain WHETHER OR NOT the department will receive enough funding next year.), if it's too long to explain, could you refer me to a video or a blog that explains it, and thank you.
Great question! Yes, "whether...or" is another correlative conjunction. Some sources list more of them, but most grammar books have just those 5 (neither nor, both and, either or, not only but also, whether or). I should have included "whether...or" in the video.
Whether is a conjunction, so you can see it alone or in the correlative conjunction pair (whether or). You can learn more about whether in this video: th-cam.com/video/Klnroe1UBRs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much.
may i know what are the grammatical use of all the correlative conjunction?
i mean like if we use both.. and do we use noun or adjective or whatever that is
Hello! You can use a noun, verb, adjective or adverb. These conjunctions work like coordinating conjunctions (and, but, so, or) because they can join two things, like this:
Both my mom and my dad are in their 60s. (join 2 nouns)
My mom and sister not only live together but also work together. (join 2 verbs)
This employee is neither organized nor reliable. (join 2 adjectives)
He does his work neither quickly nor effectively. (join 2 adverbs)
Thank you mam I'm from India
Most welcome 😊
Mam i am in class 12th ....
It's very helpful for us..
Thankyou so much🤗🤗🤗
Hi Liziqi! I am so happy you found it helpful. Thanks for stopping by 🙏🤗

Hello Teacher, I have a question for you related to both.
Are both these sentences gramatically correct?
I gave both players a baseball glove.
I gave both players baseball gloves.
I would more than glad if you could clarify it please
Yes they are both grammatically correct, but the second one implies that you gave gloves to both people. The first means that you gave 1 glove to each player.
@@LearnAcademicEnglish Huge Thanks!!!
I don't know how to apply that in a sentnce either "both.......and" or "not only ......but also"
It is really confusing
The easiest way is to start using them to combine 2 nouns, like this:
I speak both Spanish and English.
I speak not only Spanish but also English. (this one we would use if the information is unexpected. It's to emphasize that we speak both of these languages)
You can join 2 subjects with "both...and":
Both my brother and I still live at home.
You can use "not only...but also" to join 2 clauses:
Not only do I volunteer in my local community, but I also work with immigrants who need help. (Clause 1: I volunteer in my local community. Clause 2: I work with immigrants who need help. Combine them with "not only...but also" and put a comma between the 2 clauses. We add the helping verb "do" after "not only." That is a strange rule!
I hope that helps a little. I am making a series of videos about writing clear sentences. The next video will be about correlative conjunctions and coordinating conjunctions.
Thanks for teaching
But I want to know why you use "Does" after Not only
If you use "not only" at the beginning of the sentence, you add the helping verb and invert the subject and verb. If the subject is 3rd person singular, you use "does"
Not only do my friends ..., they also ...
I'm watching from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I enjoyed the season but I feel bad for your channel growth. You are doing very well but I think you should do some visual effects and some attractive thumbnails...
Thanks for your feedback. This was one of my earliest videos. I am trying my best and am very busy because I have a full-time teaching job and a family, but I will consider your ideas. 😀
Both Egypt and Tunisia are Arab countries.
We can either travel by train or go by car.
Neither Sally nor her brother likes volleyball.

Excellent!
just for neither nor made me reply again and again also i haven't see nor word before
To be honest, "nor" is not very common. But "neither" is common. We often answer negative sentences like this: "I don't have any money." "Me neither."
@@LearnAcademicEnglish me neither means i dont have money too? am i right?
Yes!
Argentina won the world cup
:) Yes, I know! I watched it. This was made long before the last World Cup
Neither the U.S nor Vietnam has the most enormous population in the world.
Perfect! Good sentence, Nguyen!
I like to have an American girlfriend but the problem is I'm not fluent in speaking English.
