Both.....and
"Both my mother and my father will be coming to the awards banquet"
Hi, would it be correct if I rephrase it like the below one? I heard that if you use the word 'both', then you must always include 'and' as well
"Both of them will be coming to the awards banquet"
Thank you

When enumerating, yes, you should use 'and' with 'both'. In your last example, you are not making a list, so "both of them" is complete.
