Question

The weather was fine as well as the sea was calm. Correct the sentence. Focus on the use of conjunction

Answer 1

‘as well as’ is the wrong conjunction to be used in this sentence as you only use it when you want to mention another item connected with the subject you are discussing.

Here, the weather being fine and the sea being calm are two different subjects.

The correct conjunction to be used is ‘and’, as it is used to link two different clauses, whether the subjects are related or not.

• The weather was fine and the sea was calm.
