Hi,


I need help with the following question:

Mr Chua likes to swim. His colleagues like to swim too. (as well as)

Mr Chua as well as his colleagues like to swim

or

Mr Chua as well as his colleagues likes to swim

or

Mr Chua, as well as his colleagues, likes to swim

I always thought as well as means and.

Then how does it change when it comed to \"and\"

Mr Chua and his colleagues like to swim

I greatly appreciate your comments. Thank you in advance.

I think
Mr Chua, as well as his colleagues, like to swim.

as well as has a similar meaning to and.

But in the top school exam papers answer sheet

It says as follows:

Mr Chua, as well as his colleagues, likes to swim. Initially I thought it is a typo error. But I saw in two (different school) papers. It uses the verb with s (likes). That is why bit confused. Even I thought the answer sheet should be correct since they are from 2 different schools. Thanks

I think it should be Mr Chua, as well as his colleagues, likes to swim.

I also agree that the answer should be:
Mr Chua, as well as his colleagues, likes to swim

As well as has different meaning than 'and'..
pls refer to attached link point 3 for reference

the ans should be 'likes'- because when you put a comma after the subordinate clause/dependent clause. the first will take the lead so
Mr Chua, as well as his colleagues,likes to swim
we must put a comma after the subordinate clause that is in blue.
