I think the following would be better: "We need not only hard work to succeed" or "We need more than hard work to succeed"- if you mean that just hard work is not enough.

I would go with the first 1 :-) "We don ´t only need hard work to succeed" But as the above mentioned post points out, it depends what you �re trying to say. |

We usually place adverbs before verbs. In the affirmative the sentence would be: We only need ..........to succeed. In the negative, we place the adverb between the aux. and the verb . So the sentence would be: We don �t only need ..............to succeed. |

I agree with nmlkr, but I will add another option:
You could also have the positive "We need only hard work to succeed", which would have the negative "We need not only hard work to succeed"

I would say both the first and third sentences are correct. The middle one sounds incorrect to me because we don �t usually separate the verb from its complement with an advert or anything. |
