Question

She is intelligent as well as smart. What type of sentence

Answer 1

Answer:

it is a compound sentence...

Explanation:

as well as” is an idiomatic phrase and not a coordinating conjunction. In most cases you should conjugate based on the first subject. It’s more often parenthetical then coordinating. There are rare occasions where the use of a singular verb would sound jarring to the listener so the plural form would be used, such as, “He as well as we were going to be there.” Technically, it should be “was”, but “we was” would sound very awkward.

If you are truly coordinating the nouns then a true coordinating conjunction would be preferable:“she is intelligent as well as smart.” Or, for clarity, “Both intelligent and smart are her qualities.”
