Parallel Structure
- Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance.
- This can happen at the word, phrase, or clause level.
- Words, phrases and clauses that are joined by and, or, or but are written in parallel form.
- Use parallel forms with the paired conjunctions:
•both...and
•either...or
•neither...nor
•not only...but also
Adverbial Clauses
- An adverb clause is a group of words that function as an adverb in a sentence. The clause can modify or describe verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.
- In general, adverb clauses add information that elaborates on when, where, why, how, how much or under what condition the action in the sentence takes place.
- An adverb clause also begins with a conjunction, such as after, if, because and although.
- Basically, adverbial clauses define conditions to the rest of the sentence.
- Example: If you listen, you will understand.
Example: Marty kept his schedule open in case his wife went into labor.
Example: Elephants, although they are large and have tusks, are not predators.
