Kata sambung yang terdiri dari kata-kata yang berkorelasi/berpasangan, diantarnya yaitu:
--Both.... And.... = Keduanya... dan... / baik... maupun... (untuk 2 hal yang tercapai).
e.g.: Both Mike and Jim have red hair.
--Not only... but also... = Tidak hanya... tetapi juga... (untuk 2 hal yang tercapai).
e.g.: Not only Mike but also Jim has red hair.
--Neither... nor... = Baik... maupun... tidak... (untuk 2 hal yang tidak tercapai).
e.g.: Neither Mike nor Jim is reading a novel.
--Either... or... = Jika bukan... berarti... / ... atau... (untuk 1 hal tercapai).

Untuk persesuaian (agreement) antara 'subject' dan 'verb' pada correlative conjunction di atas adalah sebagai berikut:
- Both... (Subject 1)... and... (Subject 2) + (Plural Verb).
- Not only... (Subject 1)... but also... (Subject 2) + (Verb [tergantung subject 2]).
- Neither... (Subject 1)... nor... (Subject 2) + (Verb [tergantung subject 2]).
- Either... (Subject 1)... or... (Subject 2) + (Verb [tergantung Subject 2]).
*Note: Ketika conjunction di atas digunakan untuk menyambungkan antar subject, kata kerja yang digunakan untuk 'both... and...' adalah plural verb (kata kerja untuk subject yang jamak); sementara untuk conjunction yang lainnya, verb yang digunakan sesuai dengan subject kedua/terakhir.
