Odgovor maternega govorca

Prepričani! Beseda onlyv tem stavku ne pomeni edinstvene, ampak pomeni but, kar pomeni, da tega ne morete storiti. Drug izraz je except for the fact. Primer: I wanted to order takeout. Only I couldn't, because the restaurant was closed. (But I couldn't, because the restaurant was closed.) (Hotel sem naročiti prevzem, vendar nisem mogel, ker je bila restavracija zaprta.) Primer: She reached to pull open the door, only it was stuck. (She reached to pull open the door, but it was stuck.) (Obrnila se je, da bi odprla vrata, vendar je bila trdno zaprta.)
