COMPLEMENTS #2: Parallel Items in a Series

[@bayleehite8834]

I didn't even think about taking the beginning of the sentence and making sure it works with the rest of the series. I loved that the video showed lots of examples on how to do this.

[@autumndefilms]

Watching the sentences work better together as we make the words connect, helped my OCD so much. I never realized how often I don't use parallel items in a series, until watching this video.

[@stefanyguevaraalvarenga1387]

I like the advice on how to get the parallel items in a series correct, by taking the begging of the sentence of who is doing the events and seeing if they connect.

I like the way this video explains parallelism; it makes a lot of sense

[@chaycebolli898]

I learned that when writing out a list it should follow suit with what was first listed.

[@katieann_powell]

I wasn't aware that every list should be parallel. It is interesting that lists or questions after a colon should also be parallel and identical structure.

[@sarahfotheringham7265]

I have heard this rule mentioned, but never quite understood it. I like the tip on reading each part of the sentence with the intro.

[@austinbowen2976]

I was unaware of the parallel rule until now. This makes sense as it allows for the sentence to flow better.

[@jaredbrown5441]

I learned that it is important to keep the items the same to be correct.

[@taylorchristiansen5572]

I learned that when writing a series, I should see if each part sounds equally good with the start of the series.

[@22497andrew]

I learned that in a series, items should work equally well with the beginning of the sentence. If the first item has a verb afterward, then put a verb after each of the items to keep them connected.

[@spencerferrell1809]

I learned that in order to follow the rules of parallelism each part of the sentence needs to follow the same pattern as the last, in order to help the flow.

[@GriffenCoburn]

I knew about parallelism but did not understand exactly how it works or how to fix it. This video made it clear how they should each be able to separate into a single sentence.

[@natenabrotzky6178]

I learned to separate the sentence and use the same beginning for each verb to see if it will make sense.

"pest control salesman" BYU MCOM really know its audience

[@user-ub4fi6pz6n]

Makes sense, make it sound similar. That makes it pretty

[@nestoreliasizquierdovilche7323]

I like your videos. Thank you so much

[@ethanslade3150]

All items should work equally well with the beginning of the sentence.

[@sandiego764]

I had no idea this rule existed before taking MCOM and watching this video
