Dialogue Correlatives

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 apply correlative conjunctions naturally within short, realistic dialogues. Through careful reading, context analysis, and sentence completion, learners choose appropriate paired conjunctions-such as either…or, both…and, whether…or, and not only…but also-to ensure each conversation sounds clear, balanced, and grammatically correct.

Learning Goals

• Using Correlative Conjunctions in Dialogue (Grades 5-7) – Students complete conversational exchanges with correctly paired conjunctions.
• Sentence Structure and Parallelism – Learners maintain balanced grammatical structure on both sides of each correlative pair.
• Reading for Context and Meaning – Students infer tone, intent, and meaning to select the best-fitting conjunction pair.
• Grammar Application in Realistic Scenarios – The activity reinforces how correlatives function in everyday spoken-style language.
