Conjunctions - Class Notes 13.4

A coordinating conjunction is a single word used to connect parts of a sentence, such as words or phrases. Some are and, but, or, so, yet, for and nor.

A correlating conjunctions are pairs of words used to connect words or phrases in a sentence. Some are both - and, either - or, neither - nor, and not only - but also. For example: Both New York and Paris are major art centers.

When the parts of a compound subject are joined by or or nor the verb must agree with the nearer part of the subject.
For example:
Neither the twins nor Carla is a good painter.
Neither Carla nor the twins are good painters.
