Many types of "not only... but also..."

Nível: HSK 4 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

We've seen 不但……而且 (bùdàn... érqiě) at the B1 level, but there are a number of other structures which can be used to express the same thing. 不但 can be substituted with 不仅 (bùjǐn) or 不只 (bùzhǐ), both meaning "not only," and can be followed by 而且 (érqiě), 还 (hái), or 也 (yě). Other than 不但……而且 being more common than the others, they are all similar in usage and formality. Subj. + 不仅 / 不但 / 不只 + ⋯⋯，而且 / 还 / 也 + ⋯⋯ Mix and match! Knock yourself out...
