Answer: "He is not only gentle, but also intelligent."
Explanation: Compound sentences are formed by putting two independent clauses (think of making two sentences, and then trying to merge them together), connecting them with a comma, followed by a conjunction (ex: and, but, so, yet).
So the structure is first clause > comma + conjunction > second clause.
In this case, the first clause is "He is not only gentle", the conjunction is "but", and the second clause is "also intelligent".
To turn a simple sentence into a compound one, you'd often have to make the original sentence a bit longer. It would feel a bit weird putting a comma (which can act like a pause) in a short sentence, so I suggest making a slightly longer sentence with the same meaning where you could split it in two and put a comma. Because the pause the comma gives would make more sense in a longer sentence.
To explain what I mean, let's take the original sentence and place a comma in it:
"He is both gentle, and intelligent."
Technically, it has the same structure as a compound sentence, but a simple sentence is too short to put a comma in there, because it's like a sentence you can say in one go.
As another example, let's take the sentence in the answer I made, but remove the comma.
"He is not only gentle but also intelligent."
It sounds a bit too long to say in one go, so inserting a comma before the conjunction will give you a bit of time to pause and stop the sentence from looking and/or sounding too crowded.
I hope this helps! If there is something you don't understand, please feel free to ask.
