Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

The dictionary form of a verb, followed by the phrase bakari de naku ... (mo) ("not only ... but also ...") is used to make an additional statement about the statement of the sentence, and to deny that what is stated in the first part of the sentence (up until bakari) is the entire truth.
NOTE: The ta form should be used in place of the dictionary form before bakari if one is speaking about past actions or events (example 3).

Examples:
彼女はピアノを弾くばかりでなく作曲もします。
Kanojo wa piano o hiku bakari de naku sakkyoku mo shimasu.
She not only plays the piano, but also composes.

あの人はよく食べるばかりでなくよく飲む。
Ano hito wa yoku taberu bakari de naku yoku nomu.
He not only eats a lot but drinks a lot.

今日は買い物をしたばかりでなく映画もみました。
Kyō wa kaimono o shita bakari de naku eiga mo mimashita.
Today, not only did I do some shopping, I also saw a movie.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね!
