In part A, you must define parallel grammatical structure

and provide correct and incorrect examples of a list of

items within a sentence. In part B, vou will write a draft

persuasive message for the assignment due later in the

week.

Part A: Parallelism

Parallel grammatical structure is very important in

business communication; yet professionals often write lists

that confuse the reader by changing tense, structure or

meaning.

Conduct research about parallel grammatical

construction and provide a definition. You may use

Internet or book sources to find content.

Your definition should be paraphrased,

not directly copied from the source. Be sure to cite

the source; a URL is sufficient for this DB.

Find an example of a list (series) 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.

Example: Cash donations are used to build houses, pay

rent and mortgage, and education needed to be successful

homeowners.

Rewrite #1 with extra words to better understand how to

assess parallelism in a sentence; you should omit the

extra "to" words in vour rewrites: Cash donations are

used to build houses, {to} pay rent and mortgage, and (to}

educate homeowners.

Note: Most writers will omit the second and third use of

"to" to streamline the sentence: however, mentally adding

the word {to} can often help you write a sentence with

parallel construction using the infinitive (to build, to pay, to

educate, to write).

Rewrite #2 (better option): Cash donations are used to

build houses, pay rent and mortgage, and educate

homeowners.

Option #3: Cash donations are used for house

construction, mortgage payments and homeowner

education.
