as well as

1 As well as has a similar meaning to 'not only . . . but also'
    He's got a car as well as a motorbike
    She's clever as well as beautiful.

2. When we put a verb after as well as, we use the -ing form.

    Smoking is dangerous, as well as making you smell bad.
    As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm.

Note the difference between:
    She sings as well as playing the piano. ( = She not only plays, but also sings.)
    She sings as well as she plays the piano. ( = Her singing is as good as her playing)
