Question

What type of conjunction are the bolded words?

Evan’s joke was not only silly but also too long.


correlative
coordinating
subordinating

Answer 1

This is coordinating conjunction because it uses the word " But" . Coordinating Conjunctions consists of the words for, and, but, nor, or, yet, so. As for correlative it consists of the words like Either...or , neither....nor , both...and, not only....but also. As for subordinating it consists of the words like before, as, after , although, as far as, since etc. So this sentence would be Coordinating. Hope this helped :)
