ok so i've asked this one before:

capitalize the conjunctions-

Both you and I will come to a decision

Both you AND I will come to a decision

so 'and' is the conjunction.
and ms.sue said that was correct.

but i just noticed that my sheet has two blanks for this question . that means there must be two conjunctions.

i can't figure out the other!!

I missed it too.

never mind..i think i got it:

It is a correlative conjunction. that means they occur in pairs.

so in this sentence: Both you and I will come to a decision, i think the two conjunctions are

BOTH you AND I will come to a decision

-both, -and

am i correct?

I wasn't absolutely positive about both, so I looked it up to make sure that both can be used as a conjunction.

ok. now i'm positive

thanks ms. sue :)

You're welcome. :-)

To determine the other conjunction in the sentence "Both you and I will come to a decision," let's first recap what a conjunction is. A conjunction is a word that connects two words, phrases, or clauses together.

In the given sentence, we have the conjunction "and." This conjunction connects the words "you" and "I" to form a compound subject. However, if there are two blanks on your sheet, it means there must be another conjunction in the sentence that you haven't identified yet.

To find the second conjunction, let's break down the sentence:

"Both you and I will come to a decision."

Here, the words "Both" and "will come to a decision" appear to be the main parts of the sentence. The words "you and I" are connected by the conjunction "and." However, we can also see that the word "and" connects the larger phrase "Both you and I" with the verb phrase "will come to a decision."

Therefore, the second conjunction in the sentence is "and," which connects the compound subject "Both you and I" with the verb phrase "will come to a decision."

To correctly capitalize the conjunctions, you should write:

Both you AND I will come to a decision.

Remember, in this case, we capitalize both occurrences of the conjunction "and."
