What is parallelism?
What is a non-paralleled structure?

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:22:36 UTC

Non-parallel structure is when the components of a sentence are not in the same grammatical form, making the sentence incoherent and difficult to understand.

HOW TO AVOID NON-PARALLELED STRUCTURES

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:25:37 UTC

1. Use parallel ideas in a series.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:27:58 UTC

2. Use parallel structures for independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:28:56 UTC

3. Avoid faulty parallelism with and who, and which.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:30:29 UTC

4. Use parallel constructions with ideas linked with correlative conjunctions

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:31:47 UTC

5. Use parallel structures in comparisons linked with THAN or AS

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:33:28 UTC

All items in a series should be in parallel form: all nouns, all prepositional phrases, all adverb clauses, and so on. Such parallelism makes a series both graceful and easy to follow.

The quarter horse skipped, pranced, and absolutely sashayed onto the track. (verbs)

Pushing a pen or pencil, pounding a typewriter, or punching a word processor just does not appeal to me. [gerund phrases]

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:44:18 UTC

When parallel elements are NOT presented in parallel grammatical form, the result can be awkward and even difficult to follow.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:45:15 UTC

NONPARALLEL: The duties of the job included baby-sitting, house-cleaning, and the preparation of the meals.

PARALLEL: The duties of the job included baby-sitting, house-cleaning, and preparing the meals.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:46:14 UTC

In general, use the same grammatical structure on both sides of any of the coordinating conjunctions - and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:47:22 UTC

When elements connected by a coordinating conjunction are not parallel in form, the relationship of the elements can be hard to see.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:48:27 UTC

We performed whenever folks would listen and wherever they would pay

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:48:55 UTC

PARALLEL: Consult a friend who is in your class or who is good at math.

dn0449905 — 2024-12-16 09:51:24 UTC

Do not use an and who or an and which clause in a sentence unless you have already used a parallel who or which clause.

WHAT IS PARALLELISM?

dn0449905 — 2024-12-17 12:36:08 UTC

PARALLELISM is a method of ensuring that words, phrases, and clauses in a series are in the same grammatical form.

Example:

dn0449905 — 2024-12-17 12:37:02 UTC

Non-paralleled: She enjoys reading books, cooking meals, and ~~to play~~ the piano.
Non-paralleled: The project requires time, dedication, and ~~working hard.~~
