(In the Practical English Usage 3rd ed.)
78.2
When we put a verb after as well as, we most often use the -ing form.
Smoking is dangerous as well as making you smell bad.
(NOT ... as well as it makes you smell bad.)
As well as breaking his leg, he hurt his arm.
(NOT ... as well as he broke his leg ... )
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.
------------
a. I have to feed the animals as well as look after the children.
b. I have to feed the animals as well as looking after the children.
Is (b) also correct? Does it mean the same as (a)?
