知大家好鍾意用”not only..., but also”，今日講吓啦😂但開波講返聲”not only..., but also...”係formal context先用，informal嘅用”too”就算啦。👋🏼

Rule 1: “not only”同”but also” go immediately before the words or expressions they modify
所以就會好似Picture 2嗰3個examples咁，當抽曬”not only”/“but also”(橙色)同佢哋後面嘅phrase(紅色)，淨低返嘅字(紫色)就可以同嗰兩個紅色部分組成返兩句獨立嘅句子。呢個亦係方便同學檢查自己組成嘅句子究竟啱唔啱意思，有時唔知係咪”not only”個”not”字影響大家，搞到大家寫返出嚟個意思調轉曬。👀 有同學問點解第二句”not only”行先，但唔係”was the bathroom flooded”，因為”not only..., but also”唔係淨係可以配inversion, 只會喺需要強調事情嘅時候先配inversion，咁因為”the bathroom”同”the rest of the house”都係”was flooded”(紫色部份)嘅subject, 所以喺佢哋兩個前面分別加大”not only”同”but also”。🤘🏼

咁假若你想再強調件事，你可以選擇用Picture 3 ”not only+auxiliary verb/modal verb/main verb “be”+subject...” (亦即係大家所講嘅inversion)。
但嗱，都係嗰句，唔好無啦啦用，你係咪真係要強調件事先？有時小事一樁又去強調，就有啲搞笑㗎啦。😂
而”but also”之後用返最基本SVO就可以啦。

咁如果要強調件事，冇auxiliary verb/modal verb/main verb “be”, 咁就會係Picture 4 “Not only+do/does/did+subject”，跟住跟返verb就可以，”but also”照返都係SVO。

諗咗成日點樣教先清晰(因為都有少少複雜)，希望分咗3個cases，大家會真正識用”not only..., but also...”啦。👍🏼
