Business professionals often fail to write lists that use parallel grammatical construction. Yet, lists are common in business communication, especially in presentations and resumes.

Please address the following in 3 separate paragraphs:

Conduct research about parallel grammatical construction and provide a definition. You may use the Internet or book sources to find content.

Your definition should be paraphrased, not directly copied from the source.

Review any of your past writings/reports/work, OR the writings of a business professional and find an example of a list (3 7 items per list) that does not follow parallel construction.

Present the before (incorrect) and after (correct) for the example. The list may be a bulleted or a numbered list.

This list should be a bulleted or a numbered list.

Note: Please avoid giving me cliched (or typical) English grammar examples that have no relevance to a business setting. You might consider finding a poorly written resume as your example, instead.

Find an example of a series list within a sentence in your previous writing, or the writing of a business professional, that is not parallel construction.

Present the before (incorrect) and after (correct) for the example sentence. The example should include a verb and a noun in each list item.
