★ 對等連接詞顧名思義,連接的對象須為同等的單字、片語或子句。

neither A nor B | 不是 A 也不是 B |
both A and B | A、B 兩者都...;兩者皆... |
not only A but (also) B | 不僅 A 還有 B |
* 除 both …and…動詞恆複數,其他三者動詞會隨最近的主詞變化。

● 若 as well as 連接兩個主詞,動詞的單複數變化要與第一個主詞一致。

學生和他們的老師都要參加校外教學。
● as well as也可以當介系詞使用,後面須接名詞或動名詞;這也就是為什麼我們會看到某些句子中 as well as 後方接的是V-ing。
