key idea

Correlative conjunctions are conjunctions used in pairs. They are used to show a relationship between two equal parts of a sentence, such as two nouns or two verb phrases. Some common correlative conjunctions are both/and, not only/but also, neither/nor, either/or, and whether/or.

The correlative conjunctions both/and and not only/but also are used to connect two things that are each true.

Both Natalie and I play the piano.

Tammy not only directed the show but also wrote the music!

The correlative conjunctions neither/nor are used to connect two things that are each untrue.

Neither Ryan nor Emma has been to Canada.

The correlative conjunctions either/or are used to connect two possibilities or choices.

Either Alyssa will answer the phone, or it will go to voicemail.

The correlative conjunctions whether/or are used to connect two possibilities or choices and express some uncertainty about which is true.

I'm not sure whether Bryan or Sonia borrowed my book.

solution

The correlative conjunction that is used with but also is not only. Complete the sentence with not only.

Jerry's roommate is studying not only Russian but also Arabic.
