Here's why:
* "As well" is an adverbial phrase meaning "also" or "in addition."
* Adverbial phrases usually don't require commas unless they are interrupting the flow of the sentence.
Examples:
* Correct: I went to the store, and I bought milk as well. (The comma is used because of the conjunction "and".)
* Correct: I went to the store and bought milk as well. (No comma needed.)
* Correct: I bought milk, as well as eggs. (Comma is used because "as well as" is interrupting the sentence structure.)
Important Note: The placement of commas can be tricky. If you're unsure, it's always best to consult a style guide or grammar resource.
