Hello dear members,
Just a short post to be helped as how to use the conjunction AS WELL AS with verbs.
I have always thought that using verbs take the ING form after the conjunction AS WELL AS until recently when I found that they may take the BARE INFINITIVE form too.
From what I have understood, we put the verb in the BARE INFINITIVE when the preceeding clause (before the conjunction) contains a verb in the INFINITIVE.
My question is whether or not I am true and If we happen to use one sample/ sentence and put it in the two cases, will the meaning stay the same ?
Let's work on this sentnece for example:
I take care of my domestic chores as well as going shopping twice a week.
I have to take care of my domestic chores as well as go shopping twice a day.
Is there a change in meaning? Is it just a matter of whether the preceeding clause contains a verb in the BARE INFINITIVE? I mean is that all?
