  Coordinating Conjunctions	Example
  The job of a coordinating conjunction is to join two words, phrases, or independent clauses, which are parallel in structure. There are seven coordinating conjunctions which are by far the most common conjunctions:  and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet.	We went to the stadium and enjoyed the cricket match. Do you want an ice cream or chocolate? Go away and never come back.

  Correlative Conjunctions	Example
  Correlative conjunction uses a set of words in a parallel sentence structure to show a contrast or to compare the equal parts of a sentence. The words of correlative conjunctions have a special connection between them. The correlative conjunctions are not only – but also, either– or, neither – nor, both – and, not – but, whether – or.	Neither Alex nor Robin can play baseball. I want both ice cream and He ate not only the ice cream but also the chocolate.
