Correlative Conjunctions
Again a post on the correlative conjunction:
I found a sentence as below:
For instance, during their involvement in Stride Night, community members are not only exposed to the prison setting, they also experience leisure within this setting.
Based on advice from "Mister Micawber" I changed this to
For instance, during their involvement in Stride Night, community members not only get exposed to the prison setting, but also experience leisure within this setting.
Is this OK?
One more: Should I need to change "experience" to "experienced" to match with the tense of the verb "get exposed"? Or can I assume that the verbs "experience" and "get" are in the present tense and leave as above?

That is not what we agreed upon. Here is your revision: Do you agree if the sentence is put this way: The impact of labelling not only is limited to the person being labelled, but also is extended to those.. Perhaps other readers would like to see [url=]THAT THREAD[/url], too.

Thanks Mister Micawber. I agree with you. How would you edit the sentence in the current thread?
