How to use 不僅…還…
不僅 ♬ means “not only,” and 還 ♬ means “also” or “even.” Use this pattern when the second point adds more information or makes the statement stronger.
| Structure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 不僅 + point A，還 + point B | Not only + point A, but also + point B |
不僅…還… is similar to 不但…而且…, but 不僅…還… often feels more natural when the second part adds an extra or stronger result.

| 這個方法不僅節省時間，還能提高效率。 ♬ | Zhège fāngfǎ bùjǐn jiéshěng shíjiān, hái néng tígāo xiàolǜ. | This method not only saves time, but also improves efficiency. |
Here, 還 adds another benefit. The sentence sounds more persuasive than simply listing two facts.
