Conjunction correlative

Summary

A correlative conjunction is a conjunctive particle used with a correlative adverb to join together two different words, phrases, or clauses.

Article

Correlative particles are used as a pair to join together two different words, phrases, or clauses. The first particle is a correlative adverb. The second particle is a correlative conjunction. For example, consider the sentence, "You may choose either this book or that book." The words "either" and "or" are correlative particles. The word "either" is a correlative adverb. The word "or" is a correlative conjunction. The two correlative particles work together and as a result join together the two phrases "this book" and "that book."

..whether we are awake or we are asleep together with him we will

..whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

Matthew 9:37 τότε λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· Ὁ μὲν θερισμὸς πολύς, οἱ δὲ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι·
