Well, a conjunction is a word used to connect clauses or sentences.
连词是用来连接从句或句子的词。

你有什么特别想学的吗?
Yes, I need to know about paired conjunctions,
是的,我需要知道成对连词,
specifically, "Both...And", as well as "Not only...But also".
具体来说是“Both...And”和“Not only...But also”。

我问了我的同事杰克和我的朋友吉尔,
but they couldn't explain it to me.
但他们无法向我解释。
Both Jack And Jill? Both Jack And Jill.
杰克和吉尔?杰克和吉尔。
That's one structure to know: Both+noun+And+noun.
你需要了解一个结构:Both+名词+And+名词。
Yeah, but I don't think you're listening!
没错,但我想你没在听我说话!
Both Jack And Jill were having coffee when I asked them about grammar.

Yes, two subjects connected by "Both...And" take a plural verb.
这样是对的,两个被“Both...And”连接的主语需要用复数动词。
Right...Ok, I still don't think you're listening.
是的,但我还是认为你没在听。

Well, it is true that when two subjects are connects by "Not only...But also",
当两个主语被“Not only...But also”连接时,
the subject closer to the verb determines whether the verb is singular or plural.
离动词更近的主语决定动词是单数还是复数。
