Ni siquiera ... e incluso

Question

Hi guys, I was doing an exercise from my spanish grammar book, and there is a part which asks me to construct sentences with "ni siquiera... e incluso"

For example, the sentence needs to start with Los humanos

... atacan a los animales del bosque.

... no respertan la selva.

Does it need to be like this? ;

"Los humanos ni siquiera atacan a los animales del bosque e incluso no respetan la selva."

Is it like "not only... but also?" or I did get wrong this exercise?

Answer 1

The other way round dugu:

"Los humanos ni siquiera respetan la selva e incluso atacan a los animales del bosque."

In any case this structure is weird, it should be in my opnion:

Los humano no solo no respetan ......sino incluso atacan a ----

But I guess you have to follow the rules .

aaa you are right about the order of the facts, but what I didn't get is the usage, "ni siquiera" and "e incluso" can be used in one sentence then , right? - culé, Sep 7, 2010
