as well as的意思是“不但……而且”“既是……也是”“而且”“还”等，当它后接动词时，有时用动词原形，有时用不定式，有时用动名词，共用以下用法：

 

用法一

在许多情况下as well as被认为是介词，故后接动词时，用动名词形式。如：

He sings as well as playing the piano. 他不但会弹钢琴，而且会唱歌。

She takes private pupils as well as teaching in school. 她除在学校任教外，也私自教授学生。

She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer. 她不但是摄影师还是个天才的音乐家。

As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm. 他不但摔断了腿，而且还伤了胳膊。

Smoking is dangerous, as well as making you smell bad. 吸烟不仅使你身上有气味，而且危险。

She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer. 她不但是摄影师还是个天才的音乐家。

As well as learning to swim he has been taking Spanish lessons this summer. 今年夏天，他除了学习游泳外，他还在上西班牙语课。

【注意】as well as 后接动词用动名词的情况主要见于主句谓语为简单时态(即一般现在时和一般过去时)的时候。

 

用法二

如果主句谓语为复合时态，即其中含有情态动词或助动词，则as well as 后的动词通常要与情态动词或助动词后的动词形式保持一致。如：

Students should pursue their own interests, as well as do their school work. 学生不仅应该做要好家庭作业，而且还要有自己的兴趣。

I have to feed the animals as well as look after the children. 我不但要照顾孩子们，还要喂那些动物。

 

用法三

如果as well as 是连接两个不定式，则其后用不带to的不定式。如：

A museum should aim to entertain as well as educate. 博物馆不仅要有教育性还且还要有娱乐性。

We cannot expect her to do the homework as well as look after the children. 我们不能指望她既做作业又照看孩子。

 

用法四

当as well as 用于句首时，其后习惯上要接动名词。如：

As well as eating a seven-course meal, they drank three bottles of wine. 除吃了一顿有七道菜的饭之外，他们还喝了三瓶酒。

As well as walking, he likes fishing and shooting. 他除散步之外还喜欢钓鱼和打猎。

As well as visiting Niagara Falls, we spent a day in Toronto. 我们参观了Niagara 瀑布，而且学在多伦多玩了一天。

As well as getting on everybody’s nerves, he’s got a habit of borrowing money and forgetting to pay it back. 他使得人人都感到心烦，此外，他还有个习惯，就是借了钱就忘了还。

 

用法五

as well as 有时也被视为准并列连词，后接的动词可以与主句谓语动词形式一致（但这种情形远不如用后接动名词普遍）。如：

He publishes as well as prints his own books. 他不但印刷而且还出版自己的书。

She works in television as well as writes children’s books. 她在电视台工作，还写儿童读物。

She works in television as well as writing children’s books. 她不但写儿童读物，而且从事电视工作。
