文型
不仅/不光 + point A, 而且/还/也 + point B
不仅 and 不光 mean “not only.” They work like 不但: the second clause adds more with 而且, 还 or 也. 不仅 is neutral and common in writing; 不光 is more colloquial.
他不仅会说中文,而且会说日语。
When to use 不仅... and 不光... for “Not Only … But Also”
不仅 and 不光 open the first clause, and the second clause adds a further or stronger point with 而且, 还 or 也. Word order depends on the subjects. If both clauses share one subject, put the subject first and 不仅/不光 after it: 他不仅会说中文,而且会说日语. If the subjects are different, put 不仅/不光 before the first subject: 不仅我喜欢,我爸爸妈妈也喜欢.

よくある間違い
- With two different subjects, put 不仅 before the first subject: 不仅我喜欢,他也喜欢.
- In the second clause, 还 and 也 go after the subject: 我爸爸也喜欢, not 也我爸爸喜欢.
- Don’t follow 不仅 with 但是; the second clause adds, it does not contrast.
