2 当主语含有as well as时，谓语动词须和as well as前面的主语在数上保持一致。
3 as well as作介词，相当于besides，in addition to，意为“除…之外”，后面通常接名词或动词-ing形式。
4 as well as结构还可表示比较，引导一个比较状语从句，意为“和…一样好”。
5 as well相当于too和also，用于肯定句中，表示“也，又，而且”，用于句尾。
eg: He is sensible as well as kind.

2 句型“so + 系动词 / 助动词 / 情态动词 + 另一个主语”用于肯定陈述句之后，表示前句所说的情况也适合于另一个人或物。
3 句型“So it is (was) with + 另一主语”既能表示肯定意义，又能表示否定意义，其主要用于以下情况：上下文有两个分句；上下文有两个或两个以上不同谓语；上下文既有肯定也有否定。
4 句型“so + 主语 + 系动词 / 助动词 / 情态动词”中的主语与前一句的主语通常是指同一个“人”或“物”，主语、谓语不需要倒装。这种句型表示说话者赞同前句所提到的情况或事实，其中so作“不错；确实如此”讲。
5 句型“主语 + do + so”中，so和动词do连用，替代上下文中出现过的动宾结构或动状结构，以避免重复。
