Kural
İki parçalı bağlaçlar
Correlative conjunctions (ilişkili bağlaçlar) iki parçadan oluşur ve birbirine denk iki öğeyi bağlar: both … and, either … or, neither … nor, not only … but also, whether … or. Türkçedeki “hem … hem de”, “ya … ya da”, “ne … ne de” yapılarının karşılığıdır. C2 düzeyinde iki kural bu yapıların doğru kullanımını belirler.
Koşutluk
(1) Koşutluk (parallelism). Birinci parçadan sonra gelen öğe ile ikinci parçadan sonra gelen öğe aynı dilbilgisel türde olmalıdır. Birinciden sonra mastar geliyorsa ikinciden sonra da mastar gelir: She wants either to study law or to work abroad. Birinciden sonra edat öbeği geliyorsa ikinciden sonra da edat öbeği gelir: not only in Europe but also in Asia. Bağlacın yeri de koşutluğu etkiler: “She not only speaks French but also Spanish” cümlesinde birinci parçadan sonra fiil, ikinciden sonra isim gelir; doğrusu She speaks not only French but also Spanish.
Yakınlık uyumu
(2) Yakınlık uyumu. Either … or ve neither … nor ile fiil, kendisine en yakın özneye uyar: Neither the manager nor the staff were informed; Neither the staff nor the manager was informed. Both … and ise her zaman çoğul fiil alır.
Not only başta
Not only cümle başına alındığında ilk cümle devrik olur, ikinci cümle normal sırada kalır: Not only did prices rise, but wages also fell.

How to read this C2 topic
At C2, grammar manages nuance: responsibility, irony, concession, distance, rhythm, and dense argument.
1. Read the writer's stance
Advanced forms may signal caution, skepticism, authority, or deliberate distance.
The proposal would appear to be flawed.
2. Recover what is omitted
Ellipsis and compression expect the reader to rebuild missing grammar.
If necessary, revise the clause.
3. Match form to discourse
The most sophisticated option is the one that fits purpose and register.
Little did they realize what followed.
Decision path before answering
Use these checks before choosing between close options.
- 1Mark the subject, main verb, object, and any connector.
- 2Underline the time expression or discourse clue.
- 3Reject any option with the wrong agreement, tense, article, pronoun case, or word order.
- 4Read the whole sentence once more for naturalness and register.
Contrasts that often decide the answer
Event or background
Simple forms move events forward; continuous forms show an action in progress.
I left while she was talking.
Fact or stance
Modals, hedges, and reporting structures show how certain or responsible the speaker sounds.
This may indicate a problem.
Clause or compressed phrase
Advanced writing often compresses full clauses into participle, noun, or prepositional phrases.
Having reviewed the data, we revised the plan.

İstisnalar
Neither … nor ile resmi yazıda yakınlık uyumu uygulanır, ama tekil ve çoğul öznelerin yan yana gelmesi kulağa tuhaf gelebilir. Bu durumda en iyi çözüm çoğul özneyi fiile yakın koymaktır. Whether … or not yapısında or not bazen atılabilir: I don't know whether she'll come.
