as well ass VS similarly vs correspondingly

[Freeguy]

Which of them? I think all of them could be correct.

Tourism brings much needed money to developing countries. ......, it provides employment.
1. as well as
2. similarly
3. correspondingly

 

[Roman55]

I am not a teacher.

1. is definitely wrong.

2. and 3. are grammatically correct, but I don't like them.

You might want to edit the 'ass' in the thread title.

 

[Freeguy]

What's wrong with as well as?

 

[Matthew Wai]

'As well as' means 'in addition to'.

Not a teacher.

 

[Freeguy]

What about furthermore?

 

[Matthew Wai]

How about moreover?

 

[Rover_KE]

I like 'furthermore' and 'moreover'.

None of the given alternatives is natural, and they should all begin with a capital letter as they follow a full stop (period).

The presence of the comma precludes the use of 'as well as'.

 

[Freeguy]

Good

 

[Matthew Wai]

Tourism brings much needed money as well as many employments to developing countries.

Is it correct?

 

[bhaisahab]

Tourism brings much needed money as well as many employments to developing countries.

Is it correct?

No.

 

[Rover_KE]

No. 'Employment' is uncountable.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Then why does the following dictionary read 'employment noun [uncountable, countable] work'?
http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/employment which also reads 'pensions from previous employments'.

Not a teacher.

 

[MikeNewYork]

That is a different use. This is an unusual use of "employment" as a plural to emphasize that the individual may have pensions from more than one previous job.

 

[Matthew Wai]

http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/ 38 examples of 'employments' can be found, are all unusual?

 

[MikeNewYork]

What do you think?

https://books.google.com/ngrams/gra...t_url=t1;,employment;,c0;.t1;,employments;,c0

Few results for "employments".

 

[Matthew Wai]

No results for "employments".

There are no results for "emplyments" instead of "employments'.
You made a typo.

Not a teacher.

 

[Rover_KE]

SIGH...if only I'd added '...in this context' in post 11.:-(

 

[Matthew Wai]

Assuming 'brings jobs' is correct, why is 'brings employments' incorrect in this context?

 

[bhaisahab]

Assuming 'brings jobs' is correct, why is 'brings employments' incorrect in this context?

Because we don't use it like that.

I did indeed! It has been fixed.
