Rewrite with Correlatives

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 improve writing fluency and sentence variety by rewriting plain or repetitive sentences using correlative conjunction pairs. Through sentence combining, grammar application, and revision practice, learners transform simple statements into more expressive, well-balanced sentences using structures such as both…and, either…or, and not only…but also.
