如果not only... but also连接两个主语,谓语动词在人称和数上应与后面一个主语保持一致,也就是要适用就近原则。
例如: Not only he but also you are wrong.
不但他错了,你也错了。
在正常语序中: not only … but also 应连接两个相对称的并列成分。
例如:
Not only Mr Lin but also his son joined the Party two years ago. (连接两个主语)
就近原则也称“邻近原则”“就近一致原则”,即:谓语与靠近的名词、代词(有时不一定是主语)在“人称、数”上一致。与其相对的还有“就远原则”。
在倒装句中:谓语可与后面第一个主语一致。
例句:
In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people . 在远处,能听见鼓掌声和人们的呼喊声。
There is a pen and some books on the desk.桌上有一支钢笔和几本书。
There are some books and a pen on the desk.桌子上有几本书和一支钢笔。

是就近原则。
“not only … but also …”是一个并列连词词组,其意思基本等于“both … and …”,但侧重点放在“but also”上,另外该词组使用时须遵守一定的规则,如要求对称,倒装及主谓一致等。以下两个句子往往被看作是欠妥或错误的:
1. *Sitting up late last night,Tom not only read the assignment but also many poems by his favourite poet.
2. *Not only the students but also the teacher were invited. 上述两句第一句欠妥,第二句是错误的,应分别改为:
Sitting up late last night,Tom read not only the assignment but also many poems by his favourite poet. 昨晚汤姆熬至深夜,不仅看了课外作业,而且读了他最喜欢的一位诗人的许多诗歌。
Not only the students but also the teacher was invited. 不仅学生们被邀请,而且那位教师也被邀请了。
也称“邻近原则”“就近一致原则”,即:谓语与靠近的名词、代词(有时不一定是主语)在“人称、数”上一致。与其相对的还有“就远原则”。
有时依“就近一致原则”,但也可依“意义一致原则”或严格地依“语法一致原则”。
Neither she nor I were there (意义一致) 我和他当时都不在那儿。(非正式)
Neither she nor I was there .(就近一致)(译文同上句)(正式)
但是,如果依“就近一致原则”而与其他两项原则相矛盾时,则常常认为是不太合符规范的。
Eg:No one except his own supporters agree with him .仅他自己的支持者同意他的意见。
(依“就近”和“意义”一致的原则;但语法上,“No one ”才是主语,谓语要改成“agrees”。“写作中”一般要依“语法一致”原则。
就远原则就是谓语动词的变化即:
谓语动词与前面主语一致
as well as;(together/along)with;rather than;except;besides;but;including;in addition to;apart from
本回答被网友采纳是,not only……but also就近原则,即和but also后的名词或代词的数一致。

e.g.
Not only the students but also the teacher reads English everyday./ Not only the teacher but also the students read English everyday.
not only …but also… 两个分句时态要保持一致。
当not only置于句首,前一个分句要倒装。
She not only sings beautifully but also dances wonderfully.=Not only does she sing beautifully but also dances wonderfully.
