Conjunction: Both...and | Usage of Both...and | English Grammar Rules

In this video, you'll learn the correct usage of "both... and" in English grammar — a powerful correlative conjunction used to connect two parallel and equally important elements in a sentence. We break down its structure, function, and the subject-verb agreement rule in a simple and clear manner.

The phrase "both... and" follows this structure: Both + element 1 + and + element 2. It can be used with nouns (e.g., She likes both tea and coffee), subjects (e.g., Both John and Mary are present), adjectives (e.g., The movie is both exciting and emotional), verbs (e.g., He both sings and dances), and phrases or clauses (e.g., She is both a talented artist and a skilled teacher).

A key grammar point covered is that when "both... and" joins two subjects, the verb must be plural — for example: Both the teacher and the student are ready.
