Using a pattern of repeated words or phrases to show that pieces of information are of equal importance is known as parallel structure. To identify parallel structure in a sentence or paragraph, look for elements that are listed or compared and check if they follow a consistent grammatical pattern. This could include using the same verb tense, maintaining a consistent sentence structure, or using similar phrases or clauses. By using parallel structure, a writer can create a sense of balance and emphasis, making it easier for readers to understand and follow the ideas being presented.
