PAIRED CONJUNCTION
Paired conjunctions consist of
two words or phrases that help
make a point or establish
alternatives.
PAIRED CONJUNCTION

be helpful in structuring a sentence,
they can also make sentences wordier
than necessary, so use these
conjunctions sparingly.

either…or
neither…nor
PAIRED CONJUNCTION
1. The project will require significant investments of
both time and money.

use a plural verb (such as "are" or "were").
PAIRED CONJUNCTION
1. Students who did not complete the assignment
received not only a poor grade but also a warning
from the teacher.
2. Not only did the student include full sentences from
the source without using quotation marks, but he also
failed to properly cite paraphrased material.
