对于not only…but (also)…这个结构，说其简单是初中学生都见过、学过并应用过，言其复杂是因为涉及的内容，笔者看来至少涉及到五个方面的内容。
说其简单，是因为我们从初中英语开始就了解、学习了not only…but (also)…的含义与用法，这不仅仅体现在英语测试中的单项选择、完形填空、综合阅读等题目上，甚至在中高考英语的作文，命题人尤其是目前中考英语的命题人，所提供的很多写作样文中就提供了很多应用到该短语的各种形式结构的例句。
说其复杂，事实上，我们就“not only…but (also)…”短语的本身必须连接同等平行的一致结构、究竟产生部分倒装是在什么条件下、有多少种变形、所连接的结构可用于否定句，以及主谓一致的实际情形——了解、理解以及运用得并不够，这也是笔者很久前的一个状态。
关于not only…but also…的内容，总体上分为五个部分：
第1部分：not only…but(also)…有多少同样含义与用法的变形？
第2部分：not only…but(also)…究竟什么情况下产生部分倒装？
第3部分：not only…but(also)…必须连接同等平行的一致结构吗？
第4部分：not only…but(also)…是否可用于否定句？
第5部分：not only…but(also)…主谓一致的情形。
第1部分：not only…but(also)…有多少同样含义与用法的变形？
这里所说的not only…but (also)…的变形是指：
其中的only、also可替换与否？甚至but不可以省略吗？but also不可以省略吗？等等。
——曾经看到了、正在看者很多很多语法书、参考书都在讲not only…but (also)…这个结构中的but属于连词【我们知道，一般情况下连词是不轻易省略的，当然有特例，如if省略等——另外的话题，待以后讨论。】，那么……
这里讨论、提出、证实的角度、实证，都是从英语词典、英语语法书（一直如此）出发，来总结、归纳相关例句，非常令人耗费精力，但结果也是非常令人震惊却也是欣慰的。
《王国栋国际英语深层语法》第576页
not only…, but (also)…; not merely…, (but)… as well/but…too; not only not…but not…either
e not only可以省略，也可用not merely代替；but also也可用too或用as well代替，但须置于句尾；否定句用either不用too；也可以只省略but；或只省略also；也可以用and。如：
Justice must not only be done; must be seen to be done too.
不但必须伸张正义，而且必须促其实现。
下面请各位同道参看下面的分类以及例句。
总体上是这个结构：not alone/only/just/merely/simply…but (also)…too/as well其中单词的省略、位置方面的问题。当然也有提及not only…but solely但因笔者并未从英语词典以及语法书籍中看到相关短语，所以并没有列入此中。

前三种只是在一本语法书中看到了说法，暂无更多例句。
其余的35种每一种均给出具体例句（一般词典越少对应的例句，这里给得就多些，便于核查）。

《英语语法大全》（伦道夫·夸克等著）第1297页 not (only)…but
和both…and一样，not only…but的基本含义是补充：它不是把连接部分等同起来，而是把它们区分开来，迫使我们把第一个连接部分看作是“已知的” 情况。但not only…but的强调作用更大，暗示第一个连接部分的内容是出人意外的，第二个连接部分的内容常用also或even这样的副词强化，则更加出人意外。这些结合词之所以与关联连词相似，主要是因为否定小品词可以从功能词后面的正常位置移开，以标明两个连接部分之间是相对的：
Not Henry, but his wife is the owner.
He came not to help, but to hinder us.
Not only did they break into his office and steal his books, but they also tore up his manuscripts.
本句的两个连接部分是完整分句。它体现了not only放在句首位置、后面接倒装的主语和功能词可以达到更加富有戏剧性的效果。
