Walter started to go with his friend when Arnold called him. "Walter, come here, please." "But Cramps, there's a party. I'm—" "Needed." His eyes caught his grandson's, and the urgency must have finally got through. Walter patted the hand of the pretty brunette on his arm. "Sinda, sorry. Family first." She sniffed. "If you like the company of old men, be that way. Festin isn't so fussy." They both watched her shimmy away. "Gramps, you owe me big time." "I know. Come on, son. Let's stash your gear."

Adverb Clauses
An adverb clause is a dependent clause that modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb in another clause of the sentence. Like single adverbs and adverb phrases, adverb clauses usually answer the questions where? when? how? why? to what extent? or under what condition? Adverb clauses are introduced by words known as subordinating conjunctions.
Their only function is to connect an adverb clause to the rest of the sentence.
Here is a list of the most common subordinating conjunctions:

after although as ... as, as if as much as, as long as , as soon as, as though, because, before, else, except that , for, if, in order that in as much as, lest , only, since, so….as, so …that, than, that, though, till , unless , until, when, whence, whenever, where , wherever, whereupon, whether, while.
Examples:
We will start the dinner [when all the guests arrive]. (clause modifies the verb "will start')
[Because God is our refuge and strength], we will not be afraid. (modifies "will be afraid')
[After all is said and done], I still think you made the right decision. (modifies "think")
You must study hard, [else you will fall the test]. (clause modifies "must study')
It is clear [that you not know the facts]. (clause modifies the adjective "clear"
She learns more quickly [than I do]. (clause modifies the adverb "quickly")

Infinitives and Infinitive Phrases
A. An infinitive is a verb form that is usually preceded by to. It functions as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb.

Some want to protest. (As the object of the verb want, the infinitive to protest is used as a noun.) She has the courage to protest. (The infinitive to protest describes the type of courage she has, so it is used as an adjective.)
He will spoil the meeting to protest. (The infinitive to protest explains why he will spoil the meeting, so it is used as an adverb.)

B. An infinitive phrase consists of an infinitive and any complements or modifiers it may have. Like infinitives alone, infinitive phrases function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
To plant trees is one way to save the environment. (As the subject of the sentence, the underlined infinitive phrase is used as a noun.)
We decided to plant trees in our backyard. (As the object of the verb decided, the underlined infinitive phrase is used as a noun.)
There must be a way to help the environment. (The underlined infinitive phrase modifies the noun way, so it is used as an adjective.)

When the papers came out, that Vespa accident was on the second page news. The large fat guy who hit me was riding on the Vespa scooter. In the paper, it then read: A young kid was racing across the main road when this large guy hit him with his Vespa scooter. This big guy fell down and hit his scooter against a power pole.

Classification
The clause which does the work of a noun is called the noun clause, the clause which does the work of an adjective is called the adjective clause while the clause which does the work of an adverb is called the adverb clause.
Look at the following sentences:
1. I know where he lives. (know what?)
2. I know the place where he lives. (which place?)
3. I shall go where he lives. (go where?)
In sentence 1, the clause, 'where he lives', is the object of the verb 'know; therefore, it is noun clause. In sentence 2, the clause, 'where he lives', qualifies the noun 'place'; therefore, it is an adjective clause. In sentence 3, the clause, 'where he lives', modifies the verb 'go'; therefore, it is an adverb clause.
We have seen that the same clause 'where he lives' may be used as a noun clause in one sentence, an adjective clause in another, and an adverb clause in yet another.
It all depends on the function or the work it does

2. He was not only industrious but (he was) also wise.

To add emphasis, we can use not only at the beginning of a clause. When we do this, we invert the subject and the verb = inversion

Are sentences containing "not only... but also" complex or compound?
I have not only a book but also a computer




https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/54466/are-sentences-containing-not-only-but-also-complex-or-compound


Though it is not a compound sentence, your sentence does contain a compound object consisting of the nouns book and computer, which are connected by the correlative conjunction not only...but also

--------------------
For example, you can have two main clauses like this Or you can shorten the sentence with two prepositional phrases: Or you can have two nouns as this version does:
صحيح أتفق مع الأمثلة الأخيرة لكن عندما يتم حذف الفاعل في الطرف الثاني من الجملة لغرض ( تقصير الجملة to be shorten ) تفتقد الجملة لخاصية جملة مستقلة independent sentence لكن تفهم أنها متضمنة وفي هذه الحالة كما في المثالين المدروجين في أعلاه : تكون الجملة الناتجة في هذه الحالة أقرب أن توصف ( بسيطة وليس مركبة ) لكن هم الهنود كما ذكرت وأوضحت مسبقا يفهمون المسألة ( أنها متضمنة )

I have not only a book but also a computer

He was not only industrious but also wise.

Notice here it is very clear using the structure ( Not only ....but also ) = compound sentence ( made from two independent sentences )
I agree with this author completely

---------------
We not only did our homework, but we also studied for the test
This sentence has two verbs+ conjunction( not only..but also). It is therefore compound
