He paints and writes poetry. (Rewrite using the 'as well as' structure.)
Answers
Answer:
He paints as well as writes poetry.
He paints as well as writes poetry.
Explanation:
“As well as” is a conjunction that is used when we want to add one more item in connection with the subject. In this example, ‘He’ is a subject. We want to add the skill ‘writing’ in addition to ‘painting’. This conjunction is similar to “also” and” in addition to”. “As well as” cannot be replaced by ‘and’. ‘And’ is used to conjoin two expressions. “as well as” gives importance to the preceding word than the succeeding word.
If two subjects are used in a sentence the verb does not become plural if we use “as well as”. Example: “Peter as well as John want to learn swimming” is a mistake. The correct sentence would be “Peter as well as John wants to learn swimming”.
