Question

3．彼得的父母都擅長(zhǎng)寫(xiě)小說(shuō)．
Not onlyPeter's fatherbut also his mother does well in writing novels．

Answer 1

分析 Not only   but also．

解答 答案：Not only   but also．這里是說(shuō)他的爸爸媽媽兩個(gè)都擅長(zhǎng)，結(jié)合后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞does是三單，故用not only…but also…表示不僅…而且，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)跟鄰近的名詞一致，故答案是Not only   but also．

點(diǎn)評(píng) not only …but also和both …and …二者意思一樣，都表示：既…又…，或者：…和…兩者都
但是動(dòng)詞形式不一樣．
not only …but also 后面的動(dòng)詞用就近原則，即根據(jù) but also 后面的主語(yǔ)來(lái)確定動(dòng)詞的形式．
而 both …and …后面的動(dòng)詞總是用復(fù)數(shù)．
例如：
Not only my father but also my mother is a teacher．
Both my father and my mother are teachers．
