Not only but also 逗號
在使用「Not only but also」時，逗號的使用規則取決於其連接的句子類型。以下是幾個使用逗號和不使用逗號的規則：
- 連接兩個獨立子句時，需要在「but」前加上逗號，如：
- Not only did he win the race, but he also broke the record.
- The company not only invested in new technology, but also hired more skilled workers.
- 連接一個獨立子句和一個從屬子句時，通常不需要使用逗號，如：

- The restaurant not only serves delicious food but also provides excellent customer service.
- 連接兩個名詞時，不需要使用逗號，如：

需要注意的是，這些規則並不是絕對的，具體使用時還要考慮句子的上下文和語境。例如，如果在一個較長的句子中使用「Not only but also」，可能需要在兩個子句之間加上逗號以增加可讀性。在使用逗號時，也應該避免過度使用，以免影響句子的流暢度和清晰度。
