As well as or aswell as
As well and “as well as” have very similar meanings.
The main difference is that “as well as” functions as a preposition or conjunction. It can therefore link different clauses together, and it doesn’t need to come at the end of a sentence.

Mine as well is a common mistaken version of might as well and should not be used when the meaning is might as well.
Might as well is a phrase that is used to express the idea that a certain course of action will make little difference (e.g., “We might as well take an umbrella”). It can also suggest there is no reason not to do something (e.g., “You might as well call her to see if she’s in”). In these cases “mine as well” would make no sense, and you should use might as well.
There are occasions when mine as well would be the correct choice, where you are saying that something is also true of something to do with you. In this case, mine is the first-person possessive pronoun:

- Jack: Mine as well.
