        Answer is "is". For "as well as", it acts as a distractor. So you look back the subject which is the boy.

          There should be a comma after 'girls'. The main sentence is:


          The boy is going...

          and the full sentence should read:

          The boy, as well as the girls, is going...

              Dear All

              Can I use the word 'coach' in this way?

              My mother coaches me to ride a bicycle.

              Thanks so much!!

              šŸ˜„

                To go over is to move or travel somewhere. To go through is to analyse or discuss through something (in this context).

                  Pls go _________ the concepts again as some of us are still unsure.


                  1) over
                  2) through

                  The answer is through. Why is it not over? What is the difference?

                  Thanks!!
                  I think it's a bad question - the phrasal verbs are close synonyms.

                  From http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/go
                  go over
                  1 consider, examine, or check (something):I want to go over these plans with you again

                  go through
                  2 search through or examine methodically:she started to go through the bundle of letters

                      Normally the verbs are in the past tense.

                        Your answer is in present tense but you mentioned the verbs should be in past tense.

                        I thought the tenses should be following the question? can someone help?
