      ( Both ) Ken ( and ) Andy like soccer.

「ケンはサッカーが好きだ。アンディもサッカーが好きだ。」

『A as well as B：Bと同様にAも』

32. Mika beganto study soon after she came home.
      Mika began to study ( as ) soon ( as ) she came home.

どちらにも「soon」が使ってあるので覚えやすいですね。

『命令文…, and S+V ～：…しなさい、そうすれば～』＝『If …, S+V ～』
→「命令文の内容をすれば、当然…できる」と「前半と後半が順接の関係」

『命令文…, or S+V ～：…しなさい、そうでないと～』＝『If …, S+V ～』
→「命令文の内容をしなさい、そうでないと～」と「前半と後半が逆接の関係」

34. My grandfather is very old. He can’t drive a car.
      My grandfather is ( too )( old )( to ) drive a car.

『so ～ that S can’t … = too ～ to …』…「too ～ to の構文」

= My grandfather is too old to drive a car.

35. She was very tired. She couldn’t do her homework.
      She was ( too ) tired ( to )( do ) her homework.

→過去時制ですが、主節と従属節(that-節)の時制が同じなので、そのまま「to do」とすればよいです。
