The pattern can also be used omitting 而且, and instead using adverbs like 也 and 还 in its place. For example,
- 他不但会说中文，而且会说西班牙语。He can not only speak Mandarin, but can also speak Spanish.
- 这个学生不但会说中文，而且说得非常好！Not only can this student speak Chinese, but also speaks it well.
When there is only one subject with 不但⋯⋯而且⋯⋯, the subject has to come at the beginning of the sentence, before both 不但 and 而且. When using two different subjects, however, you need to put one after 不但 and one after 而且. For example,
- 不但他会说中文，而且他的妹妹也会说。［不但 + Subject 1 + Adj./Verb, 而且 + Subject 2 + Adj./Verb］Not only can he speak Mandarin, but his little sister can as well.
Please use 不但⋯⋯，而且⋯⋯ structure to combine the two sentences together.
- 李友会做美国饭。李友也会做中国饭。
- 李友很漂亮。李友也很聪明。
