【句式解構】
　　本句話是not only. . . but also連接的兩個并列分句, but或also有時可以省略。若主語相同, not only和but also兩個分句的時態在人稱和數上保持一致。

關于“not only. . . but also. . . ”的倒裝形式
1. not only. . . but (also). . . 在連接主語時, 并不產生倒裝。
Not only the door but also the windows are open.
Not only the mother but also the children are sick.
2. not only. . . but (also). . . 在分別連接句子時, 若將not only置于全句句首, 常用部分倒裝。

Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. 不管你怎么看, 幾千年來, 人們一直通過藝術來表達自己的思想和想法。

【句式解構】
　　本句話中“Whatever your opinion”中省略了系動詞is, 為讓步狀語從句。whatever不僅可以引導讓步狀語從句, 而且可以引導名詞性從句, 但是no matter what只能引導讓步狀語從句。其他的wh-疑問詞+ever的用法與此一致。
Do whatever she tells you and you will have peace.
Whatever you do, she will never be satisfied.
I will take whoever wants to go, but it’s unfair.

The invitation is written in formal style. First, it has an invitation card; second, the language is formal, like “...requests the honour of your presence at...”; third, it contains a specific date and address.
An invitation should give clear details about the name, place and time of the event, and details about how to reply. A formal invitation letter may use either the third person or first person “we” with the place and date often spelt out. The wording and tone should be formal rather than conversational.
