In a clause for sentence, for example, my family is coming to dinner on My friends are coming as well.

However, unlike too as well can be joined to a following down if we use the proposition as so.

For a further example, my family is coming for dinner, and my friends as well as my dog John as well, can also be used in a couple of other interesting ways, for example, might as well or may as well, which means probably worth doing because nothing else is happening.

For example, there's no one at home tonight, so I might as well go to the cinema.

We can also use just as well, which means probably a good thing in the circumstances.

Well, I didn't cook dinner because you brought me pizza.
