John HAS won two rounds.
Mary WAS promoted to vice president and given a raise.
The team DID qualify for the playoffs.
In the sentences above, the verb in blue is known as a HELPING VERB or an AUXILIARY VERB.
Generally:
When a sentence begins with a NEGATIVE -- not, never, seldom -- a helping verb will PRECEDE the subject.
Never HAS John won two rounds.
Not only HAS Mary been promoted to vice president, she has also received a raise.
Seldom DID the team qualify for the playoffs.
OA: Not only DOES speech enable man to handle and pass on more complicated ideas, it also enables him to accumulate them.
Here, the helping verb does precedes the subject speech because the sentence begins with a negative (not only).
The first clause conveys the following meaning:
Speech does enable a man to handle and pass on more complicated ideas.
The entire portion in blue -- does enable -- serves as a verb for speech.

When using not only . . . but also in a sentence, parallelism should be the goal. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e., not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech. For example, if a verb follows not only, then a verb should also follow but also. Using different parts of speech after each part of not only . . . but also makes the sentence imbalanced and, frankly, just awkward. Consider the examples below:
He’s not only intelligent but also has a great sense of humor. Incorrect
He’s not only intelligent but also funny. Correct
Both sentences mean the same thing, but the first is imbalanced. The adjective intelligent follows not only, whereas the dependent phrase has a great sense of humor follows but also. In the second sentence, however, the adjectives intelligent and funny follow not only and but also, ensuring that the sentence is parallel.
Comma with Not Only . . . But Also
Should you use a comma with not only . . . but also? Not usually. Generally speaking, a comma should not be used to separate pairs of conjunctions in a correlative conjunction. As you may know, however, there are often exceptions to grammatical rules, especially when dealing with commas.
It’s correct to write the sentence this way, with no comma:
When writing, Ann considers not only her topic but also her audience.
But if you really want to show special emphasis, you can add a comma:
When writing, Ann considers not only her topic, but also her audience.
Do hit the Kudos if that helped you. P.S. Does'nt cost ya anything
