Is it a must to repeat "you're" in the second sentence? Cause I can say instead ▪you're not only a good teacher, but also helpful and kind

[@dennismontufar826]

Hello there :) nice video. congratulations ! a question came to my mind. I wonder if the use of coma is mandatory? Could you please clarify it? Thanks :)

[@EspressoEnglishNet]

Good question! You should use the comma in sentences with longer phrases, like "Not only does he play guitar, he also writes his own songs." But when the phrases/words are short: "She is not only beautiful but also very smart" the comma is optional... although personally I think it's still better to use it.

Thanks Shayna for your video. What about a sentence in past tense that uses the same verb, for example... Not only did you think about the students but also about the teachers. Is that sentence correct? Is it neccesary to repeat the verb think in past? Please let me know.

[@EspressoEnglishNet]

Yes, correct!

[@srr4837]

Dear teacher, do you have a video or tips on listening exercises? I do not have problems reading, speaking and writing, but I have big problems understanding the conversation.

Hi there! How could I say: Not only did this not happen, but ... how can I say this but using "not only in the middle of the sentence? By the way, is it possible to use "have, had" instead of did for the past. I mean past perfect. Thank you for your help

[@gimmygeorge5592]

What is the rule in using comma in not only, but also

[@hananesassi364]

You didn't mention not only comes before verbs except verb to be it comes after .. He not only drinks.... He is not only a ....

[@EspressoEnglishNet]

Yes, good point!

[@Mark-rf6pe]

hananesassi364 , As far as I know, it differes, whether you want to emphasise the verb, adjective, etc e.g. I not only drink water but also eat apples- verb emphasising, whereas I drink not only water but also juice - noun emphasising. Another one, She is not only beautiful but also intelligent - adjective one and the final flourish; he speakes not only powerfully, but also strongly - adverb emphasing used with comma for double emphasising!

[@juliocapcha7383]

[@weiwei36362]

Dear, teacher , thank you for your lesson, it is really helpful. I tried to use "not only .. but also" for me academic writing, however, I have a little problem , could you look at this sentence for me please? Not only could it provide a desirable place for employees to socialize with each other, but it also help in reducing. my grammar teacher who is also native speaker, said I have already used ‘it’ before; so, repeating it is inappropriate. So , I am little bit confused, could you please advise ? thank you so much :)

[@EspressoEnglishNet]

Personally, I think "it" is fine to repeat, especially since the first part of the sentence is so long! Note: you need to have "it also HELPS" (not help) :-)

Hi there, thanks for your video. In the last case, for instance, using the aux Will, is it possible to say: "Not only will I learn grammar, but I also will pratice it"

[@EspressoEnglishNet]

Almost! It's just more common to say "but I will (or: I'll) also practice it." I don't think there's necessarily a rule there, it's just the way the word order typically is.

Question in my book was. His speech improved and expression become clearer. And my answer is Not only his speech was improved but also expression became clearer.😊 I hope my answer is correct and if it is wrong please correct me and my whole comment😊

[@EspressoEnglishNet]

A few small changes: Not only did his speech improve, but also his expression became clearer.

[@Mark-rf6pe]

@@EspressoEnglishNet Dear teacher, I just wonder, how speach can improve itself on its own? Should it be used in passive voice, rather than active? And last question, can the sentence with the structure not only (inversion)...but also use both active and passive voices in two clauses? e.g. Not only was his speach improved, but also his expresion became clearer

Dear Shayna, is it correct to say: "Not only he uses this kind of art in his hands but also he uses a kind of spiritual thing when he has conversations with people" Sorry, that was an improvised speech, interviewing a massage therapy teacher....The correct way would be: "Not only does he use.." My speech was incorrect or is there any possibility of salvation for me? hihi :B

Not only does she eat chips, but also she shared chips to everyone.

[@juliocapcha7383]

Not only does she eat chips, but she also "shared" chips to everyone. The first mistake is the structure. It's not " but also she shared..." It's "but she also shared" The other mistake is the time clause, in the first part you are talking in present but then you used past simple...I don't know if it's possible to mix "time clauses" I hope you see my comment :)
