📝 Grammar Breakdown / 문법 설명
English
When “not only” starts a sentence, subject-auxiliary inversion occurs: “Not only did he finish” (not “Not only he finished”). This inversion is mandatory in formal English. “But he also” completes the correlative conjunction without inversion since “not only” is no longer at the front.
한국어
“not only”가 문장 시작에 올 때, 주어-조동사 도치가 일어납니다: “Not only did he finish”(“Not only he finished”가 아님). 이 도치는 격식체 영어에서 필수입니다. “but he also”는 “not only”가 앞에 없으므로 도치 없이 상관접속사를 완성합니다.
