In this second quiz on conjunctions, you are going to get some practice in using correlative conjunctions, e.g. 'although-yet', 'as-as', 'both-and', 'either-or', 'if-then', 'neither-nor', 'not only-but also', 'whether-or', 'now-then, and 'as-as'.
You may find this quiz a little trickier than the first one. A good way to check your answer is to say the sentences out loud with each option in them and see which sounds correct. The correct answer might not leap out at you straight away, but it will help you eliminate some of the wrong ones.
Take your time, read the questions carefully and have a go at this 11-plus English quiz to get up to speed!
