(1) "Not only ... but also" not only ... but also "is a relative word, and when used, it indicates a progressive relationship.

(2) The meaning of "not only" is that it is not only used in the first clause of a compound sentence expressing progressive relations to point out and admit a certain meaning, but also the latter clause often echoes the words "moreover", "moreover", "ye" and "you", indicating further significance.

For example:

This is a great nation, not only brave, but also full of self-esteem.

(3) Not only this or this, but also something similar. The first sentence of a complex sentence that is often used to express progressive relations points out and recognizes a certain meaning, while the latter sentence often echoes with words such as "moreover", "moreover", "ye", "huan" and "you", indicating further significance.

For example:

Not only can we learn knowledge from observation, but knowledge can also take the initiative in observation, and knowledge can "enter turnover" with the help of observation, just like using tools in labor.

Extended data

Matters needing attention when using related words:

(1) Understand the functions of various related words.

The same sentence, with different related words, has different functions and different meanings.

For example, "We worked hard together to win the game."

This sentence does not use related words and can be regarded as a coordinate relationship. If you add different related words, the relationship between sentences will change:

Because we worked hard together, the game won.

If we work together, we can win the game.

As long as we work together, the game will win.

In this way, the first sentence becomes causal, the second sentence becomes hypothetical and the third sentence becomes conditional.

In our usual speech, sentence making or composition, what kind of relationship we choose depends on our own needs of expression.

(2) Pay attention to matching related words.

Some related words are required to be used in pairs and cannot be changed at will. For example:

As long as you exercise regularly, you will strengthen your physique.

He would rather be beaten than tell the truth.

No matter how bad the weather is, he arrives at school on time.

In the first sentence, "as long as" should be matched with "JIU", "only" should be matched with "Cai", "as long as" and "Cai" are not properly matched, and "Cai" should be changed to "Jiu".

In the second sentence, "rather" should be matched with "neither" and "and" should be matched with "not as good as". The two sentences "rather" and "not as good as" are not properly matched. According to the meaning of the two clauses, it is best to change "not as good as" into "not at all".

In the third sentence, "no matter" and "que" are not properly matched, so "que" should be changed to "du".

(3) The position of related words cannot be misplaced.

For example:

Although it is cold today, the cleaner is sweating.

Today, our class held a speech contest. Not only students with strong expressive ability gave a speech on the stage, but Xiao Ming, who had been quiet since childhood, also gave a speech on the stage.

In the first sentence, "que" means that there is nothing wrong with turning, but reading the original sentence gives people a feeling of being unsmooth. If you put "que" after "cleaner", the sentence will be smooth.

The second sentence is awkward to read. If you put "not only" in front of "students with strong expressive ability", the sentence will be smooth.

(4) Where related words should be used, there should be no shortage of related words.

For some related words used in pairs, the first one can be omitted according to the situation, such as "not only … but also" "although … but" and "although" can be omitted. But in general, the "and" but "of the latter cannot be omitted. If only the former relative word is used and the latter relative word is omitted, the relationship between sentences will be unclear and the meaning of sentences will be unclear. For example:

Since the launch of the "One Help One" activity, it has not only deepened the mutual understanding between students, but also enhanced the friendship between students.

If we work together in Qi Xin, we can do it well.

The first sentence has a progressive relationship in meaning, but it lacks a related word paired with "not only", which makes people feel that the words are not finished and the progressive relationship is unclear. If "harmony" or "harmony" is added before "enhancing the friendship between classmates", not only the progressive relationship is clear, but also the meaning of the sentence is clear.

The second sentence is a hypothetical relational sentence. The former clause indicates the hypothetical situation and the latter clause indicates the result. Due to the lack of the related word "JIU" paired with "if", the result in the sentence is not clear, which makes people feel unfinished after reading it. If you add "can" before "do this well", the meaning of the sentence will be clear.

(5) Don't misuse related words.

For example:

He didn't tell the teacher himself. Let me tell him.

My grades are poor, but I can humbly ask my teachers, but I sincerely learn from excellent students, so I have made great progress.

The first sentence should be a turning point, not a progressive relationship. The indiscriminate use of "he" makes the semantic expression unclear, so "he" should be changed to "but".

In the second sentence, the indiscriminate use of the word "but" should be deleted.

Using related words well can greatly improve the aesthetic feeling of sentences and make them more vivid.
