e.g. She is not only my sister, but also my friend.

【拓展】　
(1)not only…but also…连接两个主语时,谓语动词要和它最近的主语在人称和数上保持一致,也就是我们所说的“就近原则”。
e.g. Not only my brother but also I am going swimming.
不仅我弟弟还有我都打算去游泳。
教材解读
(2)not only…but also…不可以用在否定句中,如果表示否定意义可以用 “neither…nor…” ,意思是“既不……也不……”。

我弟弟和我都不打算去游泳。
(3)both…and…是not only…but also
…的同义词组,意思是“……和……都”,它连接两个主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,没有就近原则一说。
