Hi,
What all rules applied in parallelism in Sentence Correction. In the training video, the list in the parallel structure should contain only same type of items like nouns, verbs or adverbs, how shall we find wrong in parallelism.
Regards,
Vinay

Hi vinay1976.
There are two main ways to check for parallelism.
One is to check to see whether sentence elements that should be parallel are of the same type.
Example:
John fixed the bike, tuned up the lawnmower, and the dishwasher.
We see that the first two elements are verb phrases, but the third is just a noun phrase. So, the list isn't parallel.
We can also check for parallelism by analyzing the logic of the sentence.
John fixed the bike, (John) tuned up the lawnmower, and (John) the dishwasher.
When we place the introductory element (John) before each element, we get "John the dishwasher." Since that doesn't make sense, the list isn't parallel.
