In each of the nine spaces, write a different conjunction.
When the teacher calls out a conjuntion, the students who have the conjunction
in their Bingo card, will raise their hands and come up with a sentence using that
conjunction. If they say the sentence correctly, they can cross off that conjunction
from their card. The student who gets three conjunctions crossed in a row or a 80
column, wins.
3. Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that always connect two elements that
are grammatically similar. In other words, they link nouns to nouns, adjectives to
adjectives and phrases to phrases. For example,
• Neither Rohan nor his friends play video games.
• Rehana is both intelligent and beautiful.
• That man is not only intelligent but also funny.
The common correlative conjunctions are both…and, either…or, neither…nor,
not only…but also, whether…or, no sooner…than.
