Good evening friends. Last night we talked about conjunctions  and their uses. Now let's discuss a few more conjunctions and their uses. Look below:
either --- or, neither ---- nor, both --- and
Either he or his brother is guilty. (alternative - either he is guilty or his brother is guilty)
Neither he nor his brother is guilty. (alternative - negative of either  - or)
He is both poet and politician. (meaning 'and'/'also')
as ---- so, so ----as, than, so --- that, 
As you sow, so shall you reap. (indicative of result)
He is not so tall as his brother (is)*. (cmparison)
He is taller than his brother (is tall)*
* The bracketed part need not be written/spoken. It's rather understood.
so + adjective + that
He was so tired that he could hardly stand. (indicative of result/consequence)
=> He is extremely tired and as a result, he can hardly stand.
There are  a few other connectives which we use to maintain a kind of congruity or relevance to the previous speeches. Look below:
He did not study hard, consequently, he failed.
We were shocked to hear that he had failed. Obviously, it was beyond our expectation.
He picked a quarrel with his boss and at a stage scuffled with him. Thus he ruined his chance of getting a promotion.
Observe carefully that the bold words (consequently, obviously, thus) have been used to link the two sentences to maintain 'coherence'. These are also a kind of connectives or better say, connectors.
