This challenging Grade 5 worksheet focuses on correlative conjunctions, including either/or, neither/nor, both/and, and not only/but also, plus nested prepositional phrases. Multiple choice items ask students to pick correctly built sentences and find phrases inside other phrases. Fill-ins test correlative pairs and stacked prepositions in vivid scenes. This sheet rewards careful reading, an eye for parallel structure, and the patience to look at how parts of a sentence balance and connect inside one clear thought.
