Parallel structure refers to using the same grammatical form in a series of phrases or clauses that are connected. Some examples of parallel structure include using the same parts of speech like adjectives or verbs, or using the same conjunctions to connect phrases or clauses. Maintaining parallel structure provides clarity and makes the relationship between ideas in a sentence obvious. The document provides examples like "both handsome and smart" to illustrate parallel structure and advises not mixing forms like using a verb after adjectives and verbs. Worksheets are included for practice identifying and creating examples of parallel structure.
