not feeling ready yet? these can help:
identify coordinating conjunctions
use the correct pair of correlative conjunctions
use parallel structure
The sentence uses the correlative conjunction pair "not only...but also". When "not only" is placed at the start of a clause, subject-verb inversion is required. The second clause has the structure "but he was also", so the first inverted structure matches the parallel and grammatical rule for this conjunction pair.
