The Rules for Conjunction is quite simple if we know how to classify it into 3 categories:

(i) Coordinating conjunctions
(ii)Correlative conjunctions
(iii)Subordinating conjunctions

Coordinating Conjunctions

These conjunctions can join single words, or group of words, but there always prefer to join the similar the words.

Coordinating conjunctions are: and, nor,or, so, yet, for, but.

Conjunction	Linked	Example
or	verb + verb	Have you ever seen or drive the car bugatti
so	sentence + sentence	In movie hall I was willing to sit at back so, i booked fast
and	noun phrase + noun phrase	We have the free pass for Wiz Khalifa and for Club
but	sentence + sentence	The paneer was prepared on Wednesday, but chicken was prepared on Tuesday.

Correlative conjunctions

These kind of conjunctions are used in pairs. They always join in similar kind of elements.

Correlative conjunctions	Linked	Example
either…or	noun + noun	Tonight party is either in Kunal flat or in Rakesh flat
neither…nor	subject + subject	Neither paneer nor chicken will be prepare on Thrusday
both…and	subject + subject	Both me and my brother are living in US.
not only…but also	subject + subject	Not only save the money but also try to invest it is important for future.
