I am stuck at this problem "We don't provide only wireless equipment" or "We don't only provide wireless equipment" In the above-mentioned sentences, which one is correct? Please help me.

  • Though the first variant here shows the more logical placement, the distribution of focus particles / limiting modifiers like 'just', 'only' is notoriously free and complex. The second variant here is probably more commonly used, the first more formal. The second is marginally ambiguous (eg 'We don't only provide wireless equipment ... we buy back your unwanted equipment'). – Edwin Ashworth Feb 06 '20 at 13:02

Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine. -Ludwig van Beethoven

This is famous quote if you've ever heard about this.

We must use "only" before verb if start with Negativity statement so as per this "don't only provide" is the right statement.

  • Thanks, Priyank, It helped me a lot. – Abdullah Mangi Feb 06 '20 at 14:19
  • "We don't provide only wireless equipment" means that they provide other things as well. "We don't only provide..." means that they do other things as well, as Edwin implies. Maybe they repair wireless equipment too. – Kate Bunting Feb 06 '20 at 14:25
