Correlative conjunctions
[Voiceover] Hey, grammarians, today we're going to be talking about correlative conjunctions and I know this this looks like pretty ugly word, correlative, like, it's kind of complicated looking but, let's break it down.발음듣기
And relative, well, we know that the word relative is, like, your aunt or, your uncle or, your cousin is a relative.발음듣기
So, correlative conjunctions, there we see it, definitionally or, etymologically, are related together in some way.발음듣기
It sets up the expectation that you're going to have to be choosing between two things, so, we're going to say, or, later in the sentence, as in, what is reputed to be Oscar Wilde's last words, either the wallpaper goes, or I do.발음듣기
So, either/or sets up this choice between two options and neither/nor rejects both options, so, neither Jia nor Becca liked Howard.발음듣기
And I recognize that I say neither and some of you say neither and there's a whole George Gershwin song about that but, let's just chalk it up to my Midwestern American accent, how 'bout? Either, either, neither, neither ?발음듣기
But oh, if we talk about the both and you use and, and oh, ? If you learn to use conjunctions, that is grand, oh yes ?발음듣기
Why we're using both to indicate a connection between two things and then we use and later in the sentence to really firm that up.발음듣기
It's a little formal and it kind of allows you to set up this relationship of consequence, right, to say, if one thing is happening then, another thing happens as a consequence, so...발음듣기
So, you know, as one thing happens, so must another thing happen, is what this is trying to set up.발음듣기
Whether and or, is similar to either and or, except it has a, kind of, whiff of possibility about it.발음듣기
Whether you like shrimp or chocolate, there's certain to be something for you at the Veracruz food fair.발음듣기
Right, because whether is, kind of, setting up this possibility between these two options and it doesn't really matter which one you choose.발음듣기
And I would like to offer you the possibility of checking out more of these correlative conjunctions in our exercises.발음듣기
