Not only … but also — two written ways to add a second point

Taught in Level 5, Unit 5: Anna's application

a study plan, an essay or a report has to stack reasons — not only this, but that too. You already say -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라 and -는 데다가 (L4-U03); formal writing has two tighter forms that examiners and committees expect.

Example

  • 이 대학원은 연구 환경이 좋을뿐더러 장학금 제도도 잘 되어 있다.

    This graduate school not only has a good research environment, but a well-run scholarship system too.
