This Grade 4 worksheet introduces correlative conjunctions, which are matched pairs like both/and, either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also. Students fix mismatched pairs in sentence corrections, fill in the missing partner word, and write their own sentences using these pairs. Examples focus on everyday Grade 4 topics such as siblings, school clubs, weather, and weekend plans, helping learners hear how each pair sounds in real speech and writing.

Conjunctions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Both Maya nor her brother can swim across the lake.
Rewrite: Both Maya and her brother can swim across the lake.
2. Fix the sentence:
Either we leave now and we will miss the bus.
Rewrite: Either we leave now or we will miss the bus.
3. Fix the sentence:
Not only did Sam finish his homework, also he cleaned his room.
Rewrite: Not only did Sam finish his homework, but also he cleaned his room.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Neither the cat nor the dog wanted to go outside in the rain.
2. Both my sister and I joined the school art club this year.
3. Either you finish your vegetables or you skip dessert tonight.
4. Not only is the museum free, but also it stays open late on Fridays.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Write one sentence using the correlative pair 'either / or' about a weekend choice.
Either we go to the park or we visit Grandma on Saturday afternoon.
2. Explain why 'both / and' cannot be replaced with 'both / or' in a sentence.
Both / and joins two things together as a group, while or shows a choice. Mixing the pair changes the meaning, so both must always go with and.
