Parallel sentence structure gives your writing a pattern in which your sentence will have correct structure and makes it sounds better. It’s important in some phrases to show equal importance in order to have a format that will make it easier for the reader to understand. Setting your sentence with parallel structure will also set the tone of your phrase/sentence by stating whether it is in past, present, or future tense. For example, in the video it will give various sentence examples to show that the ending of each word or phrase can make the reader get a better understanding of the structure that the sentence. There are clauses involved in this sentence structure as well that can make a sentence have either parallel or not parallel pattern. This structure is important to understand and apply because you must always be detail oriented and specific in your writing. Whether it’s writing an email or a business proposal for your job, there must be that organization in your phrases.
