  <h2 id="used-with-one-subject">Used with One Subject</h2>

  <h3 id="structure">Structure</h3>

  <div>
    <div class="deux">
      Subj. + <span class="hanzist">不但</span> + Adj. / Verb<span class="hanzist">， 而且</span> + Adj. / Verb
    </div>
  </div>

  <p>The same subject should apply to both the first part and the second part (the part after <span class="hanzi">而且</span>).</p>

  <p>The pattern can also be used omitting <span class="hanzi">而且</span>, and instead using adverbs like <span class="hanzi">也</span> and <span class="hanzi">还</span> in its place.</p>

  <h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>

  <div class="exemple">
    <ul>
      <li><span class="hanzi">这 种 菜 不但 好吃 ， 而且 有 营养 。</span> <span class="pinyin">Zhè zhǒng cài bùdàn hǎochī, érqiě yǒu yíngyǎng.</span><br/><span> This kind of vegetable is not only delicious, but nutritious as well.</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">她 不但 聪明 ， 而且 很 努力 。</span> <span class="pinyin">Tā bùdàn cōngming, érqiě hěn nǔlì.</span><br/><span> She is not only smart, but also very hard-working.</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">他 不但 做 完 了 ， 而且 做 得 非常 好 。</span> <span class="pinyin">Tā bùdàn zuò wán le, érqiě zuò de fēicháng hǎo.</span><br/><span> Not only did he finish, but he also did it extremely well.</span></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

  <h2 id="used-with-two-different-subjects">Used with Two Different Subjects</h2>

  <p>When there is only one subject with <span class="hanzi">不但⋯⋯而且⋯⋯</span>, the subject has to come at the beginning of the sentence, before both <span class="hanzi">不但</span> and <span class="hanzi">而且</span>. When using two different subjects, however, you need to put one after <span class="hanzi">不但</span> and one after <span class="hanzi">而且</span>.</p>

  <h3 id="structure-1">Structure</h3>

  <p>So here's the pattern with one subject:</p>

  <div>
    <div class="deux">
      Subj. + <span class="hanzist">不但</span> + Adj. / Verb<span class="hanzist">， 而且</span> + Adj. / Verb
    </div>
  </div>

  <p>And here's the pattern with two subjects:</p>

  <div>
    <div class="deux">
      <span style="color: rgb(255, 127, 80); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 30px;">不但</span> + Subj. 1 + Adj. / Verb<span class="hanzist">， 而且</span> + Subj. 2 + Adj. / Verb
    </div>
  </div>

  <h3 id="examples-1">Examples</h3>

  <div class="exemple">
    <ul>
      <li><span class="vert"><span class="hanzi">不但 我 会 做饭，而且 会 洗衣服。</span> One subject, but in the wrong place</span><br/><span> Not only can I cook, but I can also do the laundry.</span></li>

      <li><span class="vert"><span class="hanzi">我 不但 会 做饭，而且 会 洗衣服。</span> One subject</span><br/><span> Not only can I cook, but I can also do the laundry.</span></li>

      <li><span class="vert"><span class="hanzi">我 不但 会 做饭，而且 我妹妹 也会 做饭。</span> Two subjects, first one in the wrong place</span><br/><span> Not only can I cook, but my little sister can as well.</span></li>

      <li><span class="vert"><span class="hanzi">不但 我 会 做饭，而且 我妹妹 也会 做饭。</span> Two subjects</span><br/><span> Not only can I cook, but my little sister can as well.</span></li>
