In addition to

Hello, everyone,

A) Ted is kind.

B) He is funny, too.

Can I combine above two sentences into one using the prepositional phrase ‘in addition to’ as follows, while I assume ‘in addition’ or ‘as well as’ is much preferred in this context?;

1. Ted is funny in addition to kind.

2. Ted is funny in addition to being kind.

3. Ted is a funny boy in addition to being a kind one.

I think 2 and 3 might be acceptable in the above.

Would hope to hear your valuable comments.

Correct. 1 sounds a bit unidiomatic (i.e., unnatural).

Of the other two, 2 is better.
