Not only did my uncle bring me to the city; he also found a good job for me.

Not only did my uncle bring me to the city; he also found a good job for me.

Is the sentence OK without "but"?

Thanks.

Yes.

He did not only bring me to the city but also found a good job for me. Can I say it like this?

 

[Rover_KE]

No. Here are two correct versions (many more are possible)

1. Not only did my uncle bring me to the city, he also found a good job for me. (This is the same as your first sentence, but with the semicolon changed to a comma.)

2. My uncle not only brought me to the city, but he also found a good job for me. (Your second attempt fails to mention your uncle.)
