Not only inversion
If "Not' comes the first, Inversion occurs like following sentence.
(a) Not only did he come to our house to pick up the TV, but also~
But, is it possible to write this way?
(b) Not only he came to our house to pick up the TV, ~
I am really wondering if sentence (B)is correct. I would really appreciate if good teachers answer my question : )
SOS~
