Not only ... but also ...



Not only and but also normally go immediately before the words or expressions modified by them.
  • The place was not only good, but also safe. 
  • She is not only a good wife, but also a good mother. 
  • She speaks not only English, but also French. 
Mid position with verb is also possible.
  • She not only speaks English, but also French. 
For emphasis not only can be moved to the beginning of a clause. Note that we use the inverted word order 'not only + auxiliary verb + subject'. But can be left out in some cases.
  • She was not only sad, but also angry. 
  • Not only was she sad, she was also angry. 
  • They not only need food, but also shelter. 
  • Not only do they need food, they also need shelter.
