1 Parallel Structure

2 What is Parallel Structure? Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. This can happen at three levels: word, phrase, or clause. The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So)

3 Examples Incorrect: Mary likes hiking, swimming, and to ride a bicycle. Correct: Mary likes hiking, swimming, and riding a bicycle.

4 Examples Incorrect: The production manager was asked to write his report quickly, accurately, and in a detailed manner. Correct: The production manager was asked to write his report quickly, accurately, and thoroughly.

5 Examples Incorrect: Angry ants, munched the marshmallows, crumbling coffeecake, and sipping syrup, headed off across the countertop. Correct: Angry ants, munching marshmallows, crumbling coffeecake, and sipping syrup, headed off across the countertop.

6 Clauses Parallel structure that begins with clauses must continue on with clauses. Incorrect: 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. Correct: 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

7 Lists After a Colon Incorrect: The dictionary can be used for these purposes: to find word meanings, pronunciations, correct spellings, and looking up irregular verbs. Correct: The dictionary can be used for these purposes: to find word meanings, pronunciations, correct spellings, and irregular verbs.

8 Correlative Conjunctions Recognize a correlative conjunction when you see one: either... or neither... nor not only... but also Correlative conjunctions connect two equal grammatical items.

9 Correlative Conjunctions For example, a noun follows either, then a noun will also follow or. Example: In the fall, Phillip will either start classes at the community college as his mother wishes or join the Navy, his father s hope. Notice that each conjunction is followed by a verb.

10 Correlative Conjunctions Example: Neither the potted ivy on the counter nor the dirty dishes in the sink have enjoyed water on their surfaces for the past week. Notice that each conjunction is followed by an adjective describing a noun.

11 Correlative Conjunctions Be sure that you have equal grammatical units after both parts of the conjunction. Here is the same idea, three ways: 1. You can have two main clauses like this: Not only did Michael grill a steak for Tiffany, but he also prepared a hotdog for Rocket, her dog. 2. Or you can shorten the sentence with two prepositional phrases: Michael grilled meat not only for Tiffany but also for Rocket, her dog. 3. Or you can have two nouns as this version does: Michael grilled meat for not only Tiffany but also Rocket, her dog.
