Hi,
1)When i check the dictionary, i just know that "as well as" is equal to "and" and "except", i am confused that when it is mean "and " and when it is mean" except"?
Basically, 'as well as' is almost the opposite of 'except'. I think you should look at your dictionary again, perhaps you misunderstood.
Best wishes, Clive

i see..thank you
but the second question that i asked is want to know whether (many,much,more,very)these words can motify the word many?much?more?very?respectively.
For example,
(a) much more<<correct or not?
(b)very more<<correct or not?
Hope you can understand what i mean^^
