🔍 语法注释
1. not only…but also… 不但……而且……并列结构
例句：Players need not only personal skills but also good teamwork to win a game.
解析：该结构用来连接两个并列成分（名词、形容词、句子均可），强调递进关系；谓语动词遵循就近原则。本句连接两个名词短语 personal skills 和 good teamwork。
2. 动名词作主语
例句：Playing football helps us build up our bodies and develop team spirit.
解析：动词原形不能直接作句子主语，需要变为动名词doing形式。Playing football 在句中充当主语，表示“踢足球”这件事。
3. that引导宾语从句
例句：It teaches us that we should keep trying even if we fail.
解析：that引导宾语从句，放在动词teaches后面作宾语，that可以省略；从句内部使用陈述语序。even if 引导让步状语从句，含义为“即使、即便”。
4. why引导表语从句
例句：That is why so many young people fall in love with this amazing sport.
解析：That is why… 固定句型，表示“这就是……的原因”，why后面接完整陈述句，用来解释前文所述现象带来的结果。
