Thank you, teacher, for the interesting lesson! Nice to see you again. In this lesson even though you didn't give us any puzzle to answer, but you gave us some interesting examples of how to use 'as well as' in delicate contexts. I love to follow your lessons as well as to listen to your sweet voice. See you very soon in another lesson.
Dear Teacher, I am writing to express my thank and gratitude of making a video lesson of AS WELL AS at my request. I do hope the lesson would be useful and helpful to many viewers. It often makes confusion among many students, doing academic essay writing. To be honest, I have been teaching English language from different teachers holding Master Degree, but in actual fact, I have never received such explanations as yours. The explanations are clear, concise, and along side the lesson you stress the terminology of the grammar rules implying to its usage and meaning in sentences. The illustrated diagrams help to have a better understanding of the topic. Great ! Now, I feel extremely confident of how to properly use it in my writing. Would you mind helping me out to have a lesson about " Anticipatory IT " or " IT as a dummy subject ", which are called in some grammar books. None of my teachers has been able to introduce it in a professional way to their pupils. I only understand that it makes a bridge from the former sentence to the next sentence. Many of us are still remain confused. I have confidence in your abilities. Surely, you will make it. Wishing you all the best for your dedication and commitment in providing us valuable and priceless video lessons. A big thank to you. kindest regards, Fazil
Hi Sunkara, Thanks for the comment. My next video is going to be tips on how to improve your English. Hope there will be something that interests you! 👍
Thank you Ms. for breaking down this topic. I'm still confused by when to use gerund and when to use infinitive after 'as well as'. Could you please tell me which one is correct? A. England and Scotland use the same flag, known as Union Jack, as well as share the same currency. B. England and Scotland use the same flag, known as Union Jack, as well as sharing the same currency.
A difficult question. It depends whether you consider 'as well as' a preposition and use the ing-form, or a conjunction (which purists think it is) and use the bare infinitive. Purists will tell you that share is technically more correct and respects the rule whereby structures need to be parallel (use....share) but 'sharing' is commonly used in sentences of this type. When we use as well as - similar in meaning and usage to in addition to - as a subordinating conjunction, the '-ing' form in the verb which follows is required. I hope this helps.
You are MY teacher. You have impressed me a lot. You have covered the subject very successfully. I love you!! Do you think this sentence is correct? You are my brother as well as my friend. I am confused because l watched someone teaching this. I think it should be like You are my friend as well as my brother.
Thanks 🙏🏼 Shahbaz! Such kind words! I really appreciate your support 😀 I think both sentences are correct as it depends what you want to emphasise. So the first, you are my brother in addition to being my friend or you are my friend in addition to being my brother. Hope that helps 👍
Hello, could you help me please? Me and my friend have been having this debate: Our task was to finish a sentence "puppies are cute as well as..." I wrote "Puppies are cute as well as warm" and she wrote "Puppies are cute as well as kittens". Which sentence is the correct one? In a case like this, are we supposed to add an adjective refering to puppies or a noun refering to cute?
Hi Nastya, I agree with you Nastya. If you are using an adjective, like here cute it is more logical to compare with another adjective. The second sentence would be better written a different way: Puppies are cute and so are kittens. Hope that helps! 🙏
Ohh i just want a vedio in which i can understand how to use verbs according to singular or plural number if two subjects are connected with a prepositional phrase
Thank you! I have a question when we replace as well as with "in addition to" the verb that follows to goes with ING form? or transitive? than you so much :3 I´´ve got another question. In the sentences that says: I can speak English as well as speak French ...Can I replace the second "speak" and put the ing form? Thank you
Hi Betzy, OK so imagine we replace "as well as" with in addition to. I can speak English in addition to French. I feel it sounds better with no verb after in addition to. I suppose you could say, I can speak English in addition to speaking French. But it sounds quite heavy and yes it would be "speaking" after in addition to. Hope that helps!
Hi bro you want to use " in addition to" right? I think ~in addition to "speak.." that is meaning like "equal", but you just want to add to your another language(French), not equal degree, you can speak English in addition to French..!! Is this sentence you want to express to? you don't want to express Speaking French degree is equal to English Right?
Wonderful explanation. I am just following you. I loved it. but I still have a doubt. what happens if the example you gave with( "as well as + infinitive) the sentence were in the past. Example : I needed to call my mum as well as COLLECTED my children ?? It sounds awkward. doesn't it? Or we need to repeat the subject? The same as here .( do I need to omit the second "to" ) . Example : I went to the grocer's as well as (to) the butcher's. Thanks in advance for all you could clarify to me.
Thanks English Together! you would say: I needed to call my mum as well as COLLECT my children. The pattern is the same as the verb following needed, but it is not necessary to repeat the "to." In your second example: I went to the grocer's as well as (to) the butcher's. This is correct, and to is optional. Hope that helps! 🙏
@@oxfordenglishnow . Wonderful explanation. In the case I gave you there is an Infinitive after the verb in the past. I mean : " I NEEDED TO call .. as well as COLLECT " What I meant is what happens if the sentences is in the past. " I CALLED my mum as well as TOLD her" hmm. I sounds strange.
Mam you mentioned here" he makes the cakes as well as selling them too" here as well as is a conjuction thus it should obey parallelism thus I think either we use present continuous (is making)or simply use base form(sells).would you please clearify this to me.
Hi Jaswant, I agree with you and in general I would say that parallel construction prevents awkwardness, promotes clarity and improves writing style and readability. However in this sentence, if you said: He is making the cakes as well as selling them too. It implies that he is doing in now... whereas if you say, "He makes cakes..." It implies that is a routine or fact that happens regularly. Hope that helps! 🙏
@@oxfordenglishnow Can we use: He makes the cakes as well as sells them too? Is it better than He makes the cakes as well as selling them? Can we just assume that when it combines two verb phrases, as well as is used as conjunction?
@@oxfordenglishnow Parallel construction is the key to conjunction usage, and that's an important factor in differentiating prepositions and conjunctions . I am afraid I can't agree with you on this one.
Hi Shankar, it would be useful if you could give me a sentence. However, my instinct is to say not. As good as is a comparative. For example: This cake is as good as this one. Hope that helps!
Which is correct: i did as well as you did on the test. or i did as well as you on the test.Do we need verb after as well as,or not here, as well as acts as preposition. please let me know.
Which is correct: i did as well as you did on the test. or i did as well as you on the test.Do we need verb after as well as,or not here, as well as acts as preposition. please let me know. ChatGPT In this case, "as well as" functions as a conjunction rather than a preposition. When "as well as" is used as a conjunction, it typically joins two parallel elements in a sentence. In your example, both "I did" and "you did" are parallel elements, so the correct usage would be: "I did as well as you did on the test." Including the verb "did" after "as well as" helps to maintain parallel structure in the sentence.
Hello, what about adverbs? Can I use "as well as" in the following sentence? My powerful language ability allows me to communicate with visitors from many different countries, effortlessly as well as efficiently.
Hi Richard, I suppose you could say that. I haven't found any information on as well as used with adverbs so I can't say if this is grammatically correct. As a native speaker I would say that, "My powerful language ability allows me to communicate effortlessly and efficiently with visitors from many different countries," would be better. Hope that helps! 🙏
"as well as playing golf with Steve "is not a clause because it does NOT have a subject, but it's a segment, so as well as here serves as a preposition rather than a conjunction.
Hello, I have a question for you. Can I say: I need to go to the market as well as buying a cake. I have to do my chores as well as cleaning your house. or only bare infinitive is possible? Thank you so much.
Hi roshni, welcome to my channel! As for your sentence: She has loss of movement, ISSUES WITH bowel as well as bladder control along with difficulty WITH balance and walking. Hope that helps! 🙏
Hello Teacher! I just want to know my sentence is correct or not. Do you think this is correct? She is gorgeous as well as talented. Thanks you teacher. I want to know the answer.
I think I have it figured out. To maintain a logical comparison, it would have to be: The shop sells books and magazines as well as newspapers. This would emphasize the books and magazines jointly over the newspapers.
Hi Talha, You could say, "I can swim well like Brian." Here it means that you swim well and Brian swims well too. Or "I can swim as well as Brian." Here it means that you are as good a swimmer as Brian. A slight difference in meaning. I hope that helps!
NoThe difference here is about tense and whether we're talking about an action that happened in the past or something that's ongoing in the present. Past Tense: "The shop sold books." This sentence means the shop used to sell books in the past, but it might not sell them anymore. Present Tense: "The shop sells books." (not "sale") This indicates that the shop currently sells books, as an ongoing activity in the present. Why not "sale"? The word "sale" is a noun (like a "book sale" or "sale on clothing"), whereas "sells" is the verb form used for present tense with "the shop" as the subject. So, if you’re talking about what the shop currently does, "The shop sells books." is the correct choice.
Hi Ajay, *Mini as well as Kaku drank wine. Samuel sings songs as well as danceS AT the party. Reyan abused Kiran as well as slapped HIM....Well done for the sentences. Hope the correction helps 👍
Hi, I would recommend you watching the lesson again. The use of commas is important and shows if there is emphasis or not. If you have a specific question, I can help.
Are their two meanings for the conjunction 'as well as'. Some people are of the opinion that the verb agreement is determined by the subject 'before as well as' and some people are of the opinion that the verb agreement is determined by the subject 'after aswellas ' in a sentence with the conjunction as well as. For example 1)Sita aswellas her friends is going to the mall . 2)I as well as my friends are playing. Please make it clear to me. Further,I want to know whether verb agreements depends on the first person, 2nd person and 3rd person . Please make it clear to me
Hi Mohamed, In your first sentence. Sita, as well as her friends, is going to the mall. Is the correct sentence. Here the verb agrees with Sita and not her friends. The as well as clause is merely an aside and could almost be put in brackets. If you changed as well as to and you would have to change the verb agreement. So it would be, Sita AND her friends ARE going to the mall. Hope this helps.
@@oxfordenglishnow hello , which one is the correct sentence? Are they interchangeable? Sita , as well as her friend , is coming. Or Sita is coming as well as her friend. Thanks
@@oxfordenglishnow A fiancé's asking his fiancée, "Art thou coming to the cinema?" Imagine that thou [1thoughtst/2think/3thought] thy fiancée [1wasn't coming/2ben't coming/3weren't coming].

Hi nayab, "My uncle, as well as my aunt, has come to see us," is the correct sentence. Remember the commas and remember that as well as is emphasising what is added and is almost an aside, so the verb agrees with the main subject. Hope that helps!

The shop sold books! Shouldn't it be the shop sale books (present)?
NoThe difference here is about tense and whether we're talking about an action that happened in the past or something that's ongoing in the present.
Past Tense:
"The shop sold books."
This sentence means the shop used to sell books in the past, but it might not sell them anymore.
Present Tense:
"The shop sells books." (not "sale")
This indicates that the shop currently sells books, as an ongoing activity in the present.
Why not "sale"?
The word "sale" is a noun (like a "book sale" or "sale on clothing"), whereas "sells" is the verb form used for present tense with "the shop" as the subject.
So, if you’re talking about what the shop currently does, "The shop sells books." is the correct choice.

Are their two meanings for the conjunction 'as well as'.
Some people are of the opinion that the verb agreement is determined by the subject 'before as well as' and some people are of the opinion that the verb agreement is determined by the subject 'after aswellas ' in a sentence with the conjunction as well as.
For example
1)Sita aswellas her friends is going to the mall .
2)I as well as my friends are playing.
Please make it clear to me.
Further,I want to know whether verb agreements depends on the first person, 2nd person and 3rd person .
Please make it clear to me
Hi Mohamed, In your first sentence. Sita, as well as her friends, is going to the mall. Is the correct sentence. Here the verb agrees with Sita and not her friends. The as well as clause is merely an aside and could almost be put in brackets. If you changed as well as to and you would have to change the verb agreement. So it would be, Sita AND her friends ARE going to the mall. Hope this helps.

Imagine that thou [1thoughtst/2think/3thought] thy fiancée [1wasn't coming/2ben't coming/3weren't coming]. Someone [1told/2tell/3had told] thee that she [1was/2be/3had been] busy and she [1couldn't/2can't/3hadn't been able to] come with thee. So [1now/2now/3then] when thou [1askst/2ask/3asked] the question, it [1sounds/2sound/3sounded] different. [1This/2This/3That] time thou [1emphasisest/2emphasise/3emphasised] the auxiliary verb "art" because thou [1thoughtst/2thought/3had thought] thy fiancée [1couldn't come/2weren't coming/3hadn't been able to come] and thou [1'rt/2be/3were] showing surprise.
1= the original usage sans subjunctive.
2= the present subjective.
3=the past subjunctive.
Wikipedia explains that we can use the past subjunctive to express imaginations & I've noticed that some translations of the Bible use the present subjunctive as well.
Could you check my usages of the present & past subjunctive whether they be correct or not, please?
Another tiny question: Can I use the weak forms /jə/ or /ju/ in this example:
It's important that you /jə/ come on time.

Thank you!
My uncle as well as my aunt have come to see us
Or
My uncle as well as my aunt has come to see us
Please tell me which one is correct
Hi nayab, "My uncle, as well as my aunt, has come to see us," is the correct sentence. Remember the commas and remember that as well as is emphasising what is added and is almost an aside, so the verb agrees with the main subject. Hope that helps!

"As well as " in the end of sentence....
Hi eleonramaria, you can't use "as well as " at the end of the sentence as you have to say "as well as " what? Hope that helps!
Thanks. Can you simply just mention the languages . No you can't. I tried it.
Hi Maria, I don't understand your question. Can I still help here or have you solved your problem?
Oxford English Now As in" I can speak English as well as French." This must be what I was driving at. ? Meaning I can also speak French.
As well as= too?

welcome to my channel!
Thanks a lot
Most welcome
Dear Teacher,
Do you mind making a lesson on how to use "that of" and "those of"?
Thank you for the suggestion, I will put it on my list of upcoming lessons.
Hello, I have a question for you. Can I say:
I need to go to the market as well as buying a cake.
I have to do my chores as well as cleaning your house.
or only bare infinitive is possible?
Thank you so much.
Yes, these would work too!
