Dear teachers,
Is it possible to use Not only without but also?
Not only is she a pretty young woman, Lizzy is also very intelligent.
Does this sentence sound natural?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, it does.
'but also' is often omitted when 'not only' is used at the beginning of a sentence. |
