when we want to make a sentences with not only ... but also , what is the correct form of this part

Answer:

Dear Mansoureh,

 

Not only and but also normally go immediately before the words or expressions modified by them.

  • The place was not only good, but also safe.
  • She is not only a good wife, but also a good mother.
  • She speaks not only English, but also French.

Mid position with verb is also possible.

  • She not only speaks English, but also French.

For emphasis not only can be moved to the beginning of a clause. Note that we use the inverted word order 'not only + auxiliary verb + subject'. But can be left out in some cases.

  • She was not only sad, but also angry.
  • Not only was she sad, she was also angry.
  • They not only need food, but also shelter.
  • Not only do they need food, they also need shelter.

Answer:

Dear Sara,

 

 It depends on your needs. Longman can provide you with easy definitions, Oxford is also good. Webster can make it harder, like for higher levels.

Answer:

Dear Zahra,

 

 A noun clause is a dependent clause that works like a noun. You can find it as a subject, object or the compliment of a subject.

what is mean this sentence:yuou have jasthiccup for what seem like the tenth time since you finished your big dinner.

Answer:

Dear Eliza,

 

 To find the meanings of those words, you could use the dictionary in OLC. Irritate sb means to make them angry, dome-shaped means to have the shape of a dome, like the ones in holy places in Iran. Exhale in breathing out. This sentence seems to have some misspelling problems, but I guess it says that you have been hiccing up for 10 times since you had alot of food for dinner.
