Lesson: English Grammar - 22t03

Parallelism: Try it Yourself

[Page 22 of 28]

Task: Identify the flaw or flaws in each of the following sentences. When you think you have it/them, click Continue and see if you're right.

1. I spent time in Paris, Barcelona, and on the southern coast of Spain.

2. Harry is a man with the best intentions and who has the highest principles.

Again, you could salvage this sentence by splitting it into two different sentences about Harry. However, the more eloquent solution is to fix the parallelism. Harry has two qualities, and they both need to be expressed in the same grammatical form. If you want to keep the first "with" structure, the sentence needs to read:

Harry is a man with the best intentions and ("with" is optional) the highest principles.

If you want to keep the second "who has" structure, the sentence needs to read:

Harry is a man who has the best intentions and ("who has" is optional) the highest principles.
