It's useful to know the non-standard English as well, as it is the real English you hear every day!

Thanks! Do you really need a comma before 'as'?

In this context.

1. I like tennis as well as football.

But:

2. I like tennis as well, as it is a fun sport.

In 1. "as well as" is one unit meaning "in addition to"
In 2. it is "as well" = also, and then "as it is...." = "because it is"

In 2 "as well" and "as" are separate, and therefore need a comma to avoid confusion.

OK. Thanks.
