Students can practice combining sentences using correlative conjunctions like 'neither...nor' and 'not only...but also' in this colorful grammar activity.

Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the worksheet. We’ll focus on rewriting sentences using the correct connectors and choosing the right answers.

---

Part D: Rewrite the sentences using the words given.

We are told to use specific connector pairs like “not only... but also”, “both... and”, or “neither... nor”.

#### 1) I like playing football. I like swimming.
a) Use not only... but also
→ I not only like playing football, but I also like swimming.
*(Note: You can also say “I like not only playing football but also swimming.” Both are okay, but we’ll keep it simple.)*

b) Use both... and
→ I like both playing football and swimming.

#### 2) Serkan doesn’t like smoking. Serkan doesn’t like lying.
a) Use neither... nor
→ Serkan likes neither smoking nor lying.
*(Or: Serkan neither likes smoking nor lying — but first version is smoother.)*

b) Use both... and → This is tricky because the original sentences are negative. But if we must use “both...and” with negatives, we rephrase:
→ Serkan doesn’t like both smoking and lying.
*(This means he dislikes both things — which matches the original meaning.)*

#### 3) My mother cooks meat. My mother makes salad.
a) Use not only... but also
→ My mother not only cooks meat but also makes salad.

b) Use both... and
→ My mother both cooks meat and makes salad.

#### 4) The gardener watered the flowers. He planted new trees.
a) Use not only... but also
→ The gardener not only watered the flowers but also planted new trees.

b) Use both... and
→ The gardener both watered the flowers and planted new trees.

#### 5) My little boy doesn’t read magazines. He doesn’t watch documentaries.
a) Use not only... but also → Again, this is negative, so we need to be careful.
→ My little boy not only doesn’t read magazines but also doesn’t watch documentaries.
*(A bit awkward, but grammatically correct. Alternatively: “My little boy doesn’t only not read magazines — he also doesn’t watch documentaries.” But let’s stick to the structure requested.)*

Actually, better way:
→ My little boy does not only avoid reading magazines, but he also avoids watching documentaries.
But since the instruction says “use the words given”, we should try to fit “not only... but also” directly.

So:
→ My little boy not only doesn’t read magazines but also doesn’t watch documentaries.

b) Use both... and
→ My little boy doesn’t like both reading magazines and watching documentaries.
*(Again, implies he dislikes both — matches original.)*

Wait — actually, for #5, maybe better to rephrase slightly to make it natural:

For a) not only... but also:
→ My little boy not only refuses to read magazines but also refuses to watch documentaries.

But since the original says “doesn’t read” and “doesn’t watch”, let’s keep verbs as is.

Final versions for #5:

a) My little boy not only doesn’t read magazines but also doesn’t watch documentaries.
b) My little boy doesn’t do both reading magazines and watching documentaries. ← Hmm, that’s weak.

Better for b):
→ My little boy neither reads magazines nor watches documentaries. — Wait, no, we’re supposed to use “both...and”.

Actually, here’s a good one:
→ It’s not that my little boy likes both reading magazines and watching documentaries — he hates both!
No, too fancy.

Stick to:
→ My little boy doesn’t enjoy both reading magazines and watching documentaries.

But perhaps the intended answer is:
→ My little boy doesn’t read both magazines and documentaries. ← No, that changes meaning.

Let me think again.

Original: He doesn’t read magazines AND he doesn’t watch documentaries.

To use “both...and” in negative:
→ He doesn’t like both activities: reading magazines and watching documentaries.

But simplest acceptable:
→ My little boy doesn’t do both — he doesn’t read magazines and he doesn’t watch documentaries. ← Not using “both...and” properly.

Actually, standard grammar allows:
→ He doesn’t like both smoking and drinking. = He dislikes both.

So for #5b:
→ My little boy doesn’t like both reading magazines and watching documentaries.

Yes, that works.

Part E: Choose the correct answer.

#### 1) My mother will make ___ a cake ___ tea. We have guests today.
Options:
a) either... or
b) not only... but also
c) neither... nor

She’s making BOTH because there are guests → So “not only... but also” fits best.
Answer: b)

#### 2) The teacher knows playing ___ the violin ___ the guitar. He plays the piano.
He plays violin AND guitar? Or just one?

Sentence says: “He plays the piano.” — doesn’t mention violin/guitar.

But the sentence is: “The teacher knows playing ___ the violin ___ the guitar.”

If he knows how to play both, then “both... and” — but that’s not an option.

Options:
a) neither... nor
b) not only... but also
c) either... or

“He plays the piano” might imply he doesn’t play violin or guitar? Not necessarily.

Actually, the sentence is incomplete without context. But likely, it’s saying he knows how to play violin AND guitar — so “not only... but also” would work.

But wait — option b is “not only... but also” — yes.

Alternatively, if he plays piano instead, maybe “neither... nor”? But that would mean he doesn’t play violin or guitar — possible.

But the sentence doesn’t say he doesn’t play them — it just adds “he plays the piano”.

Probably, the intent is that he plays multiple instruments — so “not only... but also”.

Answer: b)

Wait — let’s read carefully: “The teacher knows playing ___ the violin ___ the guitar. He plays the piano.”

It could be that he plays violin and guitar, and also piano — so “not only... but also” for violin and guitar.

Yes.

#### 3) We ___ drink ___ eat anything. We are full.
We are full → so we don’t drink or eat → “neither... nor”

Answer: a)

#### 4) The carpenter made ___ a wooden table ___ three chairs for us.
Made both → “both... and”

But options:
a) neither... nor
b) both... and
c) either... or

Answer: b)

#### 5) Su has been ___ Antalya ___ İstanbul. She loves visiting different cities.
She has been to both → “not only... but also” or “both... and” — but options:

a) neither... nor
b) not only... but also
c) either... or

“Not only... but also” emphasizes she’s been to both, which fits “she loves visiting different cities”.

Answer: b)

Wait — “either... or” would mean one or the other — but she loves visiting different cities, implying she’s been to both.

So b) is best.

---

Part F: Rewrite the sentences with proper connectors.

We need to combine the sentences using appropriate connectors like “not only... but also”, “both... and”, “neither... nor”, etc.

#### 1) Kaan reads comics. He also reads newspapers. He loves reading.
→ Kaan not only reads comics but also reads newspapers. He loves reading.

Or combine all:
→ Kaan loves reading; he not only reads comics but also reads newspapers.

But probably just combine first two:
→ Kaan not only reads comics but also reads newspapers.

#### 2) My grandfather doesn’t like rainy weather. He doesn’t like the snow, either.
→ My grandfather likes neither rainy weather nor snow.

#### 3) We may have an exam tomorrow. But we may have the exam next week. We don’t know.
→ We may have the exam either tomorrow or next week. We don’t know.

#### 4) Recep prepares a project for homeless people. He also prepares a project for homeless animals.
→ Recep not only prepares a project for homeless people but also for homeless animals.

#### 5) Teenagers love Tarkan. They also love Hadise.
→ Teenagers love not only Tarkan but also Hadise.

#### 6) The parents never let the student be out at night. They don’t allow them to go abroad without their parents.
→ The parents neither let the students go out at night nor allow them to go abroad without supervision.

Or:
→ The parents don’t allow the students to go out at night or to go abroad without their parents.

But to use a connector:
→ The parents neither permit going out at night nor traveling abroad without parental accompaniment.

Simpler:
→ The students are allowed neither to go out at night nor to travel abroad without their parents.

#### 7) We go fishing on Sundays. We have picnics on Sundays, too.
→ On Sundays, we not only go fishing but also have picnics.
