Using Parallel Structure in Writing

What Is Wrong With This Sentence? Teens today can’t relate to Holden because of his freedom, his alienation, and he talks in a way that teens today can’t understand. It is not parallel

What Is Parallel Structure? Items being listed, compared, or contrasted in one sentence should have the same grammatical structure. Same grammatical structure = same part of speech Teens today can’t relate to Holden because of his freedom (n), his alienation (n), and he talks (verb) in a way that teens today can’t understand.

Examples of Good Parallel Structure Teens today can’t relate to Holden because of his freedom (n), his alienation (n), and his outdated way (n) of talking. PLEASE CORRECT: Because he is isolated and his unusual behavior, teens today can’t relate to Holden.

What Is Parallel Structure? When joining several equal or related ideas in a sentence, you should express these ideas in a similar way. Do this by balancing the structure of your sentence parts.
