9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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 2 Not 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.

12. 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 1 Not 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.

13. Parallel Structure Examples: Lists After a Colon Be sure to keep all the elements in a list in the same form. Example 1 Not Parallel: The dictionary can be used for these purposes: to find word meanings, pronunciations, correct spellings, and looking up irregular verbs. Parallel: The dictionary can be used for these purposes: to find word meanings, pronunciations, correct spellings, and irregular verbs.
