教科書 p.106
接続:N・Vて・Vた・V辞書形 + ばかり
only / just / increasingly. The meaning changes according to the preceding form: bias, just finished or continuing to increase.
注意 / Note:Check the correct front form, subject and level of politeness; Don't just translate word for word.
比較 / Compare:Compare with structures in the same lesson to choose according to function in the whole sentence. Same 課: 普通形 + 名 (節修飾)/助詞 + の + 名/助詞のような言葉 + の + 名 (としての/についての)/助詞のような言葉の名詞接続形 + 名 (による/に対する) — these models are often mistaken for each other, read the 接続 line carefully and then decide.

Little brother only plays games.
今、帰ってきたばかりです。

物価は上がるばかりです。
