Jun 18, 2015 at 17:32 | comment | added | F.E. | This might not be so clear, w.r.t. an answer. The expression "along with" can sometimes be considered to be used as a coordinator, and the same can be said of the expression "plus". It depends on the speaker (or writer) as to their intent--though, punctuation and intonation can be used as indicators as to that intent. There's some related info in the 2002 reference grammar by H&P, CGEL, on page 1318-9. | |
