Othello Parallel Structure Practice - Eric Bryan | Library

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.

The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and" or "or."

Examples: 
1.) David bought a cardigan sweater, a pair of shoes, and a tie.
2.) Martha was both an industrious student and an excellent writer.

Take a look at the Shmoop video below. It will explain to you how parallel structure (also called parallelism) works.
