Case of ‘not only’ ‘but also’-When but is included you can either add also (or its alternatives) or not;
both forms are common and standard. Hence the parentheses in but (also), which could also be
written as (but) also, since but sometimes doesn’t appear either.
For example-
‘‘Rowers not only face backward, they race backward.’’
The last example, from the New Yorker, is effective because of its succinctness and punchy rhythm.
Adding but would impair it, while adding also would do little or nothing to improve it. Doing
without but or also tends to reduce formality, or to reduce stiffness in formal prose, and can benefit
short and straightforward constructions.
For example -
“The street door of the rooming-house was not only unlocked but wide open”
But (also) can appear by itself, without being preceded by not only:
For example -
“It depends on your point of view, but also on where you live.”
