Que otras verduras cultivas ademas de tomates?

What vegetables do you cultivate as well as tomatoes?

Quiero saber si estoy utilizando correctamente “as well as“. Tambien quisiera saber si en vez de utilizar “ as well as “ puedo utilizar “ other than “

I took the liberty of correcting the title of your question. - afowen, Aug 21, 2013

Answer 1

I would use the following instead:

• What crops do you grow besides tomatoes?
• In addition to tomatoes, what other crops do you grow?
• Do you grow anything other than tomatoes?

An example of how to appropriately use the phrase "as well as" would be:

• As well as growing tomatoes, he cultivates pears, bell peppers, and lemons.

All of the above are correct in English.

Fun fact: the tomato is actually a fruit, not a vegetable. =]

And corn is actually a grain not a vegetable! - Jubilado, Aug 21, 2013

Answer 2

Cultivate is too 'scientific' a term for 'normal' usage, you want to use 'grow'.

Regarding your question, you've formed the sentence well and yes, you can use 'other than' in place of 'as well as'.

Using 'as well as', it sounds more natural to me written: 'What other vegetables do you grow as well as tomatoes'.

Good work!

I changed "to" to "do" in the last sentence. I agree with you about "cultivate". - Jubilado, Aug 21, 2013

Answer 3

Besides (Other than) tomatoes, what other vegetables do you grow? Do you grow other vegetables as well as tomatoes? Si quieres saber cuales son las otras verduras.

Do you grow tomatoes as well? Si alguien te dijo que cultiva verduras. En este caso "as well" quiere decir lo mismo que "too" (también).
