当然可以。又例如:

Not only did he make a promise, but also he kept it.他不仅作出了许诺, 而且履行了诺言。《简明英汉词典》

▲在使用not only...but also时通常要注意以下几种情况(你的问题与第1和第4有关):

1. but also分开用。有时可将 but also 分开用,即将but视为普通的并列连词,用于连接两个句子,然后将also用于句中(与谓语动词用在一起)。如:

He’s not only very fast, but he’s also got marvelous technique. 他不仅很快,而且技术高超。

2. not only的变体。有时也可将 not only 改成 not just, not merely, not enough 等。如:

For a teacher to hit a child is not just morally wrong but also illegal. 对一个老师来说,打孩子不仅是不道德的,而且是违法的。

3. but also的变体。该结构在实际运用中有时也可说成 not only…but…too (as well),即将其中的 also 改为 too或 as well,但此时的 too 或 as well 通常应置于句末。如:

He not only washed the car, but polished it as well. 他不仅冲洗汽车,而且还擦拭了它。

4.缺省also。not only…but also…的意思是“不但……而且……”,also 有时可以省略。如:

His name is known not only inJapan, but inChina. 他不仅在日本出名,而且在中国也出名。

5. 缺省but。有时省略的不是also,而是其前的连词but,此时连两个句的标点通常是分号,但有时也有直接用逗号的。如:

She not only sings; she also plays the piano. 她不但会唱歌,而且会弹钢琴。

6.缺省but also。与缺省连词but的情形相似,此时连两个句子的标点通常是分号,但有时也有直接用逗号的。如:

She not only sings; she plays the piano. 她不但会唱歌,而且会弹钢琴。

7.缺省not only。

John was most famous for his poetry, but he was also a schoolteacher, a literary critic, and a musician. 汤姆最著名的是他的诗,但他同时也是教师、文学评论家和音乐家。
