No.

What if one has made setences for both words but one gets wrong?

This is something ambiguous, but it is for sure that sentence on one word is not rewarded.

The Gordian Knot is a legend of Phrygian Gordium associated with Alexander the Great. It is often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem solved by a bold stroke ("cutting the Gordian knot"):


Sugar daddy is a slang term for a rich man who offers money or gifts to a less rich younger person in return for companionship or sexual favours

[QUOTE=abrowaqas;286262]1. Please speak to the concerned clerk.
Ans: [B]Please speak to the clerk concerned.[/B] [/Quote]

I think there is no difference in the above two sentences. 'Clerk concerned' or 'Concerned clerk' are absolutely fine. The mistake may be somewhere else. The correct sentence may be: Please talk to the concerned clerk.



3. Not only he was a thief, but he was also a murderer.
Correct: Not only was he a thief, but also a murderer.
Reason: Not only... but also... are used in combination. Not only is always followed by verb/helping verb. Therefore, 'was' is placed after 'Not only' in this case.

6. My uncle [U]has[/U] told me something about it yesterday.
Correct is: My uncle told me something about it yesterday.
Reason: When the words like yesterday, last year (Past time) are used in the sentence, past indefinite tense is used.

3. The correct is as follows

He was not only a thief but also a murderer.

Reason: These are coordinating conjunctions and they need parallelism of units after them. For example, if after not only there is an article and object, but also should also be followed by an article and object.

the rest are correct or still there need some correction.
