Hi everyone, I am working on the SC section and I'm trying to relearn some advanced grammar rules. I have some concern on the use of inclusives, particularly "not only ... but also" conjunction. Here I have some correct sentences: a. He is good not only at Math but also at English. b. I love not only to watch footbal but also to play it.
My question is that within the two above sentences, it is acceptable or not when changing the position of "at" and "to" to the front of "not only". a. He is good at not only Math but also English. b. I love to not only watch football but also play it.
Thank you in advance.

Construction: Not only <entity> but also <parallel entity>
He not only is good with verbals, but also is good with adverbials. He is not only good with verbals, but also good with adverbials. He is good not only with verbals, but also with adverbials. He is good with not only verbals, but also adverbials.
All the above four are grammatically correct. But the fourth one is more concise.
