Mike,
I have gone through your blog on parallelism. You said about cutting similar part. Please explain what this similar part actually means. and can we cut those part which comes after common part (say common verb- i crushed, killed a person and ravaged the town in pursuit of wealth. In this sentence how to differentiate that the last part - in pursuit of wealth - and say it is equal to crushed,killed and ravaged .it can also be limited to ravaged.)
I am a bit confused as i read noun to noun, adjective to adjective, noun phrase to noun phrase , clause to clause can be parallel. Can we compare a noun word with a phrase? - John, Rahil of UAE, and Tom are great athletes. Can we say John and Rahil both are from UAE, if not then how noun (John) and noun phrase (Rahil of UAE) can be parallel.
I don't rember sentences as such so i asked with problem by theses simple sentences.
Please help, Sir, as i don't have any other reliable source.

Dear Brijesh,
I'm happy to help.
My friend, you have multiple questions about grammar. I think you will be well served enrolling in the Magoosh GMAT product.
https://gmat.magoosh.com/?utm_source=mag ... fgod3iYAPQ
All of these questions about Parallelism will be answered by my lessons videos inside the Magoosh product. I don't know whether you are also studying for the TOEFL, but Magoosh also has a TOEFL product:
blog: https://magoosh.com/toefl/
product: https://toefl.magoosh.com/?utm_source=ma ... n=homepage
If you have already taken the TOEFL, I think you may find the Magoosh English product helpful:
https://english.magoosh.com/?utm_source= ... fgodjJsAHQ
If you buy the GMAT product, you can get a discount on either the TOEFL or English product.
I would urge you, in discussions of grammar, to pay attention to precise wording. In this blog:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/dropping-c ... -the-gmat/
What you are calling "cutting similar part" I called "dropping common words" --- that is, dropping or omitting the words that are common to both branches of the parallelism, i.e., the repeated words. Don't unnecessarily repeat words. That's what the rule says.
If you are done with your TOEFL already, and you want to improve your English, you need to be reading. Read at least an hour a day. Read hard challenging material in English. If you have aspirations to go to business school, then you already should be reading the Wall Street Journal every day and the Economist magazine cover to cover every week. For more suggestions, see:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/gmat-reading-list/
It's not helpful at all when you make up simple sentences to demonstrate grammar points. You need to be reading, and take example sentences from those publications.
Does all this make sense?
Mike
