but also和 but

Not only did the garage overcharge me,------they hadn't done a very good repair job either.

答案是but,为什么不能填but also呢?不是not only...but also吗?还是因为有either,就不写also,用but 就行?

Not only did the garage overcharge me,------they hadn't done a very good repair job either.

答案是but,为什么不能填but also呢?不是not only...but also吗?还是因为有either,就不写also,用but 就行?

     【答】but 和 also 可以连用,但是  also 不能直接放在 but 后面。应该是:Not only did the garage overcharge me, but they hadn't  also  done a very good repair job either. 如:

      Not only did we lose our money, but we were also in danger of losing our lives. 我们不仅丢了钱,而且曾处于丧命的危险之中。(摘自赵振才编著的《英语常见问题解答大词典》增订版第五版 p.994)(此句中前面的谓语动词 lose 是实义动词,后面的谓语动词 were 是 be 动词,句中也用了also)

      Not only will our society decline but our civilization will also be ruined. (also放在实义动词前面或者助动词/情态动词/be动词后面;如果有两个助动词或者同时有助动词/情态动词,就放在第一个后面。如本句中的 will 和 be 都是助动词,所以 also 放在 will 的后面)
