Asked by Learner78
When you add sugar to it, your cup of coffee becomes not only sweet, also fattening.
Which word used incorrectly in the sentence?
The answer: is becomes.
But there is a bit off about where "also" after the comma. I think it should be "not only..., but also"
And should "becomes" placed behind "not only"?
Please, someone help me. Thank you!

The verb "becomes" is correct in that sentence. (I don't see "is becomes" there.)
Also, "not only" is placed correctly, after the verb. I agree with you that "but also" is the correct wording.
