Understanding Correlative Conjunctions

The video tutorial explains correlative conjunctions: either/or, neither/nor, and both/and. It covers their usage in connecting grammatically similar words, phrases, or clauses. Either/or indicates a choice between alternatives, neither/nor negates multiple options, and both/and includes all options. Examples illustrate each conjunction's application, and guidance is provided on subject-verb agreement when using these conjunctions.
