Level up your English: The "Not Only... But Also" Structure!
Stop using "and" all the time and try this structure instead!
[Subject + Verb] + not only + [Thing 1] + but also + [Thing 2].
Examples:
  • Normal: "He loves playing guitar and writing songs."
  • After using the structure: "He not only loves playing guitar but also writes his own songs."
  • Normal: "The movie was funny and heartwarming."
  • After using the structure: "The movie was not only funny but also incredibly heartwarming."
ACTIVITY TIME! Let's practice in the comments.
Now try to use this sentence structure by writing 3 sentences about yourself or your experiences.
*Pro-tip: Make sure Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the same type of word—like two adjectives or two nouns!
