Print this page and list the parallel structures in Your Time. Remember that parallel structures may be single words, phrases or even clauses that have the same grammatical form. Usually they are joined by a coordinator, but sometimes they are not. Use the tables below. Print out this page and use the tables to write out the parallel structures you find in the passage Your Time.
Practice Exercises: 1. Take out the Journal Reflection you wrote on what helps you relax and read it over. Did you use any parallel structures? Find them and underline them. If you didn't join any parallel forms, try to rewrite a couple of sentences using a series of two or more words or phrases having the same grammatical form. 2. Study the lesson on parallelism from the Purdue University online writing lab (link on previous page and below). Pay attention to proofreading strategies at the end of the handout. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_parallel.html |
