    As well as/help
    Message from mohammad51 posted on 28-12-2017 at 10:06:57 (D | E | F)
    Hi
    Could anyone please help to solve this?
    I understand that as well as doesn't mean AND,otherwise it does mean in addition, but when we use in addition in the sentence, the matter goes differently.
    Examples:
    Mary, as well as her friends, is intelligent. Here we emphasise on Mary.
    Suppose we omit the commas, "Mary as well as her friends ( is/are) intelligent." Suppose as well as = in addition.
    Which one is correct is or are?

    Hello,
    Link

    in addition to : besides >> the coach, as well as the team, is ready.

    The commas are necessary; if you don't use them, your sentence is not correct.
