A conjunction is a word that joins other words, phrases (groups of words), or clauses (groups of words with a subject and verb). 

 

Correlative conjunctions join words, phases, or clauses of equal rank. The correlative conjunctions are always in pairs. They are either-or, neither-nor, both-and, not only-but also, and whether-or.
