About this worksheet

Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that work together to join two parts of a sentence: both ... and, either ... or, neither ... nor, not only ... but also, and whether ... or. The first word of a pair is always followed, later in the sentence, by its partner. On this fifth grade sheet each of ten sentences already has the first word of a pair, and the child writes the word or words that finish the pair on the line.

The pairs are printed in a word bank. Each version has different sentences, and the answer key gives every answer.
