Scrambled Correlatives

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 strengthen their understanding of correlative conjunctions by reconstructing scrambled word groups into complete, logical sentences. By using designated correlative pairs-such as either…or, neither…nor, and both…and-learners focus on correct word order, parallel structure, and grammatical balance while solving sentence-building puzzles.
