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。👍🏼

formal informal分別 在 Re: [字彙] "拒絕"分別- 精華區Eng-Class 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《sunnietang (一切重新開始~)》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《redanimal (平凡就是福。)》之銘言：
: : 拒絕有refuse,reject,decline and turn down
: : (好像還有一個object....還是這不一樣??)
: : 請問以上這幾個字,有什麼差別?
: : 用法與語氣強弱的差別在哪裡?或是informal or formal?
: : 謝謝回答。
: 我能在書上看過強弱程度是refuse > reject > decline
: 但turn down 跟 object 我就不太清楚定位或差別了
學習英文時最好不要用『英文字典的中文翻譯』來記憶字彙
因為一樣翻譯為『拒絕』的往往適用在不同的地方
如果學習字彙的時候順便學習他的例句和用法
就不會有這種問題了:)
而在我查的韋氏字典裡對以下幾個字作了以下的解說
DECLINE, REFUSE, REJECT, REPUDIATE, SPURN
mean to turn away by not accepting, receiving, or considering.
DECLINE often implies courteous refusal especially of offers or
invitations <declined his party's nomination>.
REFUSE suggests more positiveness or ungraciousness and often implies
the denial of something asked for <refused to lend them the money>.
REJECT implies a peremptory refusal by sending away or discarding
<rejected the manuscript as unpublishable>.
REPUDIATE implies a casting off or disowning as untrue, unauthorized, or
unworthy of acceptance
<teenagers who repudiate the values of their parents>.
SPURN stresses contempt or disdain in rejection or repudiation
<spurned his overtures of friendship>.
至於OBJECT
應該是反對而不是拒絕（常見於法庭劇）
to present an opposing opinion or argument
<they objected to the conductor's insistence that their
train tickets were not valid>
至於TURN DOWN
to decline to accept : REJECT
其實我覺得每個字就很難界定強度和正式性，只有適用不適用的問題而已
至於turn down在我看來比較適合口語或者非正式書面。
