Hello
I am not quite certain if there is any difference between AND and AS WELL AS.
Thank you for your help in advance

Hello clint !
If you're patient enough, I've just started making a lesson and test dealing with 'Also', too','as well', and 'either' which are all quite problematic for Fench students ...
A little patience and you may have the answers you want ! Who knows ?

Hello,

If you are in a hurry you can see below, from Oxford Dictionary:

as well (as somebody/something)
in addition to somebody/something; too
Are they coming as well?
They sell books as well as newspapers.
She is a talented musician as well as being a photographer.

And
(used to connect words or parts of sentences)
in addition to bread and butter
a table, two chairs and a desk
Sue and I left early.
Do it slowly and carefully.
Can he read and write?

There is a slight difference in the use of the two words, but we can say they are similar in meaning.

Hello,
Thanks Lucile,
I will be as patient as Job, but please don't keep me in suspense too long, Here4u.

Hello!
There is difference between both.
AS WELL AS is used in addition with something but AND is used in together with something.
