    The document provides examples and rules for using hyphens when combining words. It discusses hyphenating compounds of numbers and nouns, such as sixty-year-old and eighteen-year-old. Adjectives before nouns requiring hyphens include two-door and twenty-two. Hyphens are not needed when the number comes after a noun, such as students that are eighteen years old. Compound adjectives formed from an adjective and present participle, like hard-working, also require hyphens.

    Using As well as ...........

    not only, but also


    #

    John, as well as Mary, wants to leave early.


    The above example means not only Mary but also John wants to leave early. A
    singular verb 'wants' is used as it follows a singular noun 'Mary'.

    Shes greedy as well as dishonest.


    Here, the sentence describes her of being not only dishonest, but also greedy.

    Animals, as well as plants need water to survive.

    In this example the 'plants' is a plural noun and so the verb followed by it is 'need'
    as it is a plural verb.

    No only plants but also Animals need water to survive.

    He hurt his arm as well as breaking his leg


    Use ing form of the verb.

    She draws as well as designing clothes.


    Use ing form of the verb.
    In these two examples, we are talking about two action happening 'hurt arm' and
    'break leg'.
    When we connect two actions with 'as well as', the second action you mention will
    always come in the gerund form i.e. 'ing' form.
    It is incorrect to say: He hurt his arm as well as broke his leg. She draws as well as
    designs clothes.

    I have to clean the floors as well as cook food.


    In the above example, there is an infinitive 'to clean'. If you use an infinitive before
    'as well as', the infinitive after 'as well as' should not be used with 'to'. So, it is
    incorrect if you say- I have to clean the floors as well as to cook food. Remember,
    you shoudn't use 'to' followed by a verb after 'as well as' . Simply put the verb
    followed by 'as well as' without 'to'.
    Infitnitive ( to + base form verb) to clean ( infinitive)

    You do not use cooking or to cook food.

    Hyphenation
    My sixty-year-old mother-in-law did a ten-foot dive into the swimming pool and was
    greatly admired.

    I asked some eighteen-year-old students at this secondary school how


    they're voting in this year's election. They're all hard-working young
    people. Twenty-two of them are undecided and are likely to make a lastminute decision. But a sizable group say today's politicians are not well
    respected and their attitudes are out of date. Back to the studio.
    That means they work hard. Now there are lots of compound adjectives like hardworking that we make with an adjective or adverb like hard plus a present participle
    like working.
    First we had eighteen-year-old students. Eighteen-year-old is an adjective made
    from three words joined together with hyphens. When we write age before a noun, we use
    hyphens.
    A two hyphen door car (a two-door car). But that's only for numbers before the noun.
    If you write: the students are eighteen years old, you don't need hyphens.
    The second compound in that clip was twenty-two. Twenty hyphen one (twentyone). Two hundred and ninety hyphen nine (two hundred and ninety-nine).
