Hi,

Are the following correct and mean the same?

He as well as she is going to the fair.
Not only he but also she is going to the fair.

Hi,

Are the following correct and do they mean the same?

They are both totally unnatural.

Here are a few colloquial sentences:

He is going to the fair with her.
Bonnie is going to the fair as well as Clyde.
Not only is Rudy Mentary going to the fair, but his sister Ellie is going too.
Emma Nation and her brother Uri are going to the fair together.

Another suggestion: they are going to the fair.

I want to learn the rule. Which helping verb is used in the following sentence?

I as well as he is/am going.

 

[GoesStation]

The natural way to say that is "He and I are going."
