1
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:01,910
In this grammar refresh.

2
00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:13,500
We'll start with going over the phrase not only, but also where X and Y are pieces of related information.

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,090
So we're going to insert two pieces of information that are related and we're going to tie them together,

4
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:23,910
are using this phrase not only.

5
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:25,730
But also.

6
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:35,080
And whatever these two pieces of information are, make sure that you keep a parallel structure, which

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:44,980
means that the grammatical structure of these pieces of information match, for example, if you put

8
00:00:44,980 --> 00:00:46,150
just only a now.

9
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:51,280
Then why should also be a noun, not a verb or something else?

10
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:59,440
Or if X is a verb in the present tense, then why should also be a verb in the present tense?

11
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:02,760
So make sure you keep this parallel structure.

12
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:04,570
Let's look at some examples.

13
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:13,650
The first example is they have not only free coffee, but also free snacks.

14
00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:17,940
So first you can see our structure, not only.

15
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:27,840
But also and then we've inserted this related information where X would be free coffee and Y would be

16
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:36,060
the snacks, and so this is a good way to grow in related information and more of a complex way than

17
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,000
just saying they have coffee and snacks.

18
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,290
Right.

19
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,740
But they have not only free coffee, but also free snacks and.

20
00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:55,260
Now we can use this construction not only but also at the beginning of our sentence, right, that we

21
00:01:55,260 --> 00:02:01,710
can put this at the very beginning and that's going to add a little bit of emphasis to our sentence.

22
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:09,360
But when we do this, make sure that you know that you're going to kind of invert or switch the subject

23
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,010
and the verb.

24
00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:14,430
Let's look at our example and you can see what I mean here.

25
00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:22,700
We have not only were they supportive of my plans, but also they were constantly checking up on me.

26
00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:30,630
And so here we have not only at the beginning, whereas our first example, it was later in the sentence.

27
00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:34,410
So you can hear how I read it, right?

28
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:42,360
It's not only were they supportive, right, so that not only, you know, get some emphasis, so it

29
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,360
helps this and out that not only this, but also this.

30
00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:49,010
Right.

31
00:02:49,710 --> 00:02:56,490
So not only were they supportive of my plans, but also they were constantly checking up on me.

32
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,120
OK, and we switched the verb in the subject, right?

33
00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:05,470
So you can see here they have.

34
00:03:07,050 --> 00:03:11,940
This is a subject and verb, but when not only is in the beginning, we.

35
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,980
They not only were they supportive, they.

36
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:22,530
We switched were and they.

37
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,830
But you can see after, but also it's the same, though it's only here at the beginning.

38
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:35,210
Here we still have subject verb.

39
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:44,320
Another thing to note is when there is no auxiliary verb, there are no main verb that you use in the

40
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840
construction, not only, but also.

41
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:53,820
We're going to use do or does or did some form of the verb to do.

42
00:03:54,490 --> 00:03:58,920
You can see in our example, not only did they fire him.

43
00:04:00,220 --> 00:04:03,040
But they also didn't pay him anything.

44
00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:06,400
So now, instead of using the.

45
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:09,410
BRB, be right.

46
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:12,260
We're replacing it with the.
