四、牢記后續動詞的形式

as well as 后接動詞到底是該用什么形式，這是一比較復雜的問題，歸納起來有以下幾點值得注意：

1. as well as 通常被視為介詞，所以后接動詞時，一般用動名詞形式。如：

He sings as well as playing the piano. 他不但會彈鋼琴，而且會唱歌。

As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm. 他不但摔斷了腿，而且還傷了胳膊。

Smoking is dangerous, as well as making you smell bad. 吸煙不僅使你身上有氣味，而且危險。

She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer. 她不但是攝影師還是個天才的音樂家。

注：as well as 后接動詞用動名詞的情況主要見于主句謂語為簡單時態(即一般現在時和一般過去時)的時候。

2. 如果主句謂語為復合時態(即其中含有情態動詞或助動詞)，則as well as 后的動詞通常要與情態動詞或助動詞后的動詞形式保持一致。如：

Students should pursue their own interests, as well as do their school work. 學生不僅應該做要好家庭作業，而且還要有自己的興趣。

I have to feed the animals as well as look after the children. 我不但要照顧孩子們，而且還要喂那些馬。

3. 如果as well as 是連接兩個不定式，則其后用不帶to的不定式。如：

A museum should aim to entertain as well as educate. 博物館不僅要有教育性還且還要有娛樂性。

We cannot expect her to do the homework as well as look after the children. 我們不能指望她既做作業又照看孩子。

4. 當as well as 用于句首時，其后習慣上要接動名詞。如：

As well as eating a seven-course meal, they drank three bottles of wine. 除吃了一頓有七道菜的飯之外，他們還喝了三瓶酒。

As well as walking, he likes fishing and shooting. 他除散步之外還喜歡釣魚和打獵。

As well as visiting Niagara Falls, we spent a day in Toronto. 我們參觀了Niagara 瀑布，而且學在多倫多玩了一天。

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煩，此外，他還有個習慣，就是借了錢就忘了還。

注：as well as 有時也被視為準并列連詞，后接的動詞可以與主句謂語動詞形式一致（但這種情形遠不如用后接動名詞普遍）。如：

He publishes as well as prints his own books. 他不但印刷而且還出版自己的書。
