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. By balancing the items in a pair or a series so that they have the same kind of
structure, it will make the sentence clearer and easier to read.
Examples: Peter likes the violin, the flute and the trumpet.
