As we go over the grammar concepts, take notes. Be sure you understand how to identify parallel structure, as well as how to write using appropriate parallel structure.

Parallel Structure (page 435-436 in SpringBoard)Using the same pattern of words to show that

two or more ideas have the same importance This can happen at the word, phrase, or clause

level The usual way to use parallel structures is with

the use of coordinating conjunctions such as and or or.

Unit 4 Grammar

Parallel structure examples: Words Example 1

Not Parallel: Mary likes hiking, swimming, and to ride a bicycle.

Parallel:Mary likes hiking, swimming, and riding a bicycle.

Example 2Not Parallel: The production manager was asked to

write his report quickly, accurately, and in a detailed manner.

Parallel:The production manager was asked to write his report quickly, accurately, and thoroughly.

Unit 4 Grammar

Parallel Structure Examples: Clauses A parallel structure that begins with clauses must

keep on with clauses. Changing to another pattern or changing the voice of the verb (from active to passive or vice versa) will break the parallelism.

Example 1Not Parallel: The coach told the players that they should

get a lot of sleep, that they should not eat too much, and to do some warm-up exercises before the game.

Parallel:The coach told the players that they should get a lot of sleep, that they should not eat too much, and that they should do some warm-up exercises before the game.

Unit 4 Grammar

Parallel Structure Examples: Lists After a Colon

Be sure to keep all the elements in a list in the same form.

Example 1Not Parallel: The dictionary can be used for
