Lưu ý khi sử dụng cấu trúc Not only but also

Sau khi học về cấu trúc Not only but also, chúng mình hãy cẩn thận và lưu ý một số điều sau đây để tránh gặp phải lỗi sai không đáng có nhé:

1. Hai vế trong câu có cùng từ loại

Bạn chú ý khi sử dụng cấu trúc Not only but also thì cần phải đưa hai vế trong câu thống nhất về cùng từ loại. Ví dụ một trường hợp câu sai: 

  • Daisy is not only talented but also a composer. (Daisy không những tài giỏi mà còn là nhà soạn nhạc.) ➡ Sai

Trong trường hợp trên, “talented” là tính từ và “composer” là danh từ. Hai từ này không tương đồng với nhau, vì thế đây là 1 câu sai. Ví dụ câu đúng như sau:

  • Daisy is not only talented but also creative. (Daisy không chỉ tài năng mà còn sáng tạo.)

Trong trường hợp trên, cả “talented” và “creative” đều là tính từ, vì thế đây là câu đúng.

2. Sử dụng từ vựng phù hợp với ngữ cảnh

Một lưu ý tiếp theo đó chính là những từ vựng được dùng cần phải phù hợp với cả hai vế. Việc sử dụng từ vựng không phù hợp với ngữ cảnh là một lỗi sai thường gặp trong cấu trúc Not only but also. Ví dụ một trường hợp câu sai:

  • Kathy drinks not only the coffee but also the chicken. ➡ Sai

Trong câu này động từ ở phía trước cụm Not only chỉ dùng được cho “coffee” chứ không sử dụng được cho “chicken”. Không ai “uống” được “gà” cả phải không nào? Ví dụ câu đúng:

  • Kathy drinks not only coffee but also soda. (Kathy không những uống cà phê mà còn uống soda.)
