Parallel sentences use two or more words, phrases, or clauses that have similar parts of speech or patterns.
For example:
- noun + noun
- verb + verb
- adjective + adjective
- subject-verb + subject-verb
- prepositional phrase + prepositional phrase
- noun clause + noun clause
Sometimes you may have to change or add words to create parallel structure.
