(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.

Examples: この頃は仕事が忙しくて、旅行に行くどころではない。 Konogoro wa shigoto ga isogashikute, ryokō ni iku dokorode wa nai.

A sentence with this pattern means, in essence, "do such things as ..." Examples: 彼はゆうべバーで飲んだり、食べたり、歌ったりした。 Kare wa yūbe bā de nondari, tabetari, utattari shita. Last night at the bar, they did things like drink, eat, and sing. 和田さんは週末に車を洗ったり、芝生を刈ったりします。 Wada-san wa shūmatsu ni kuruma o arattari, shibafu o kattari shimasu.
