🧩 The "Not Only" Trick

In the story, we see: "He does not only mean the Holocaust."

When you want to say that one thing is true, but more things are also true, use this pattern:

Not only [A] →\rightarrow but also [B]

Examples from real life:

  • I do not only speak English →\rightarrow I also speak Spanish.
  • The school is not only big →\rightarrow it is also old.
  • The problem is not only in schools →\rightarrow it is also in universities.
