When we put a verb after as well as, we most often use the -ing form.
As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm.
After an infinitive in the main clause, an infinitive without to is possible.
I have to feed the animals as well as look after the children.

"After an infinitive in the main clause, an infinitive without to is possible."
Does this mean that an infinitive without to in this case is optional?
Thanks.
