English Language & Usage Asked on February 2, 2021
is “provides” correct?, and what about commas before or after “as well as” in this sentence
“Narrated in the third person omniscient, the narrator depicts a panoramic view of the natural landscape as well as provides an objective view of the main character’s thoughts”.
No, provides is not correct.
A comma before as well as would be useful but not mandatory.
Narrated in the third person omniscient, the narrator depicts a panoramic view of the natural landscape as well as providing an objective view of the main character’s thoughts.
FYI, Narrated (anything), the narrator (anything) might be grammatically defensible but it's stylistically anathema.

Parse it this way:
"(Narrated in the third person omniscient,)
(the narrator depicts)
(a panoramic view of the natural landscape)
(as well as provides)
(an objective view of the main character’s thoughts.)".
HTH.
