grammarDetailPage.commonMistakes.correct: 被害は東京にとどまらず、全国に及んだ。
grammarDetailPage.commonMistakes.why: A represents a limit or range that is exceeded by B. B typically indicates a broader scope, a greater extent, or a further development. Tokyo is a narrower area than the whole country, so reversing them makes the progression illogical.
grammarDetailPage.commonMistakes.wrong: 被害は東京にとどまらなくて、全国に広がった。
grammarDetailPage.commonMistakes.correct: 被害は東京にとどまらず、全国に広がった。
grammarDetailPage.commonMistakes.why: This pattern is a formal, written connective form that ends in ず. Replacing it with なくて sounds unnatural.
Key points
Formal, written style (news, essays, speeches). A is a limit or range that the actual situation goes beyond, so B is usually wider, bigger or more extreme than A, and is often followed by も, まで or にも.
Close to だけでなく but more formal and more focused on the scope expanding. のみならず is even stiffer. It is usually written in kana (とどまる means 'remain' or 'be limited to'; 留まる is sometimes used). A dictionary-form verb can come directly before it, and adding こと or の is optional. Nouns and verbs are the typical inputs; adjectives are rarely used.
