Question

英语: not only A but also B(强调B)= A as well as B(强调A) 两者都是递进关系,用就近原则,对吧,

那有句例句:Not only my parents but also my sister likes playing tennis.变成A as well as B:My parents as well as my sister ( ) like/ likes playing tennis. ???怎么改呢

Answer 1

选择like，解释：not only...but also...是平行结构，的确采用就近原则，但是，as well as...就其本质而言是个短语介词，与其宾语形成完整的介词短语，不影响句子的单复数，所以，不采用就近原则。

Answer 2

like
as well as my sister作伴随状语，主语是my parents
