How the lesson starts: Connect Ideas with Conjunctions

Twin-tower bridges
Bodhi is a beaver engineer who builds bridges between ideas. His favorite bridges have twin towers. When you see the first tower, you must build its partner.
Twin towers
Some conjunctions come in pairs. Either goes with or. Neither goes with nor. Both goes with and. Not only goes with but also. Each first word has one partner.
Let's build one
Not only Mia blank Theo cleaned the dam. The first tower is not only. Its partner is but also. Not only Mia but also Theo cleaned the dam. Watch out: neither goes with nor, never or!
