Care should be taken with the placement ofnot and other negatives in a sentence in order to avoid ambiguity. All elephants are not friendly could be taken to mean either .All elephants are unfriendly. or .Not all elephants are friendly.. Similarly, the sentenceKim didn`t sleep until noon could mean either .Kim went to sleep at noon. or .Kim got up before noon.. · In formal writingthenot only . . . but also construction should be used in such a way that each of its elements is followed by a construction of the same type.Instead ofShe not only bought a new car but a new lawnmower, write She bought not only a new car but a new lawnmower; in the second version, bothnot only and but also are followed by noun phrases. · In thenot only construction also is often omitted when the second part of the sentence merely intensifies the first:
為避免意思模糊，在句中放置not 和其他否定詞時必須小心： All elephants are not friendly 可被理解為.所有的大象都不友好.或.並不是所有的大象都友好.。 與此相似，句子Kim didn`t sleep until noon 即可以被理解為.科姆中午去睡覺.或.科姆中午前起床.。 在正式寫作中,not only…but also 結構應這樣用： 每一個成分後都跟一個相同形式的結構。應把She not only bought a new car but a new lawnmower 寫成 She bought not only a new car but a new lawnmower； 在第二個句子裡，not only 和 but also 後都跟名詞短語。 當第二部分只是強調第一部分時，在not only 結構里 also 通常省略：
例句：
She is not only smart but brilliant.
她不僅聰明過人而且才華橫溢。

例句：
He not only wanted the diamond but wanted it desperately. See Usage Note at only
他不僅想要鑽石，而且想要得要命 參見 only
