"Usually not only" can be a grammatically correct and usable phrase in written English, but it may sound awkward or unclear if used in isolation. One possible way to use "usually not only" in a sentence could be: "People usually not only crave attention, but they also long for validation and approval from others." In this example, "usually not only" is used to emphasize that the majority of people have multiple desires, not just one. It can be used to indicate that something commonly or typically happens, but it is not the only thing that happens. Another example could be: "Teamwork usually not only leads to better solutions, but it also fosters a sense of collaboration and camaraderie among team members." In this sentence, "usually not only" is used to show that teamwork has both practical and social benefits. Overall, "usually not only" can be used to add a sense of contrast or multiplicity to a statement. It is typically used to introduce a second or third point that complements the first one. It is often used in formal or academic writing, but it can also be used in speech.
