MARCH 10 AND 11

GrammarParallel Structure (aka-parallelism)• Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance.• The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and" or "or."

Examples • Gerunds (ing words) : • Mary likes hiking, swimming, and bicycling.

•With infinitive phrases: • Mary likes to hike, to swim, and to ride a bicycle.

ORMary likes to hike, swim, and ride a bicycle.

• DO NOT MIX FORMS: • Mary likes hiking, swimming, and to ride a bicycle.
