not only but also谓语动词看后面的,both and 谓语动词是复数。前者是递进关系,后者是并列;如果连接主语,前者谓语是临近关系,后者用复数。not only but also的意为不仅...而且,both and意思是两者都。
一、意义的区别
not only but also不但...而且...
both and既...又 ...;两个都
二、用法的区别
1、not only but also
not only but also意思是“不但...而且...”强调的是butalso之后部分,后边的谓语要视最近得主语而定。not only..but also...如果连接的两个部分不是主语,但却放到了句首,就要发生部分倒装。
2、both and
both...and连接句子的两个主语时,其后谓语动词通常用使用复数形式。
可以连接两个相同的部分,包括连接两个主语,宾语,定语,状语,也可以是复杂的句子。
