    Paralelism in Business Writing

    Uploaded by

    Raffi Ramli
    Parallelism is important in business writing to create a sense of rhythm and balance. When expressing equally important ideas, consistent structure is needed. Using parallel structures provides balance and clarity to help convey meaning. Lack of parallelism can disrupt flow and leave sentences grammatically unbalanced, while proper parallelism establishes flow and supports readability. Authors should read work aloud and underline elements to check structures are paired correctly.

    Parallelism in

    Business Writing
    .
    Our team
    Parallelism.....
    ● Parallel is the suitability or alignment of structures in a sentence.
    ● The point is that the elements in a sentence use the same
    grammatical pattern.

    ● Elements in sentences can be nouns,phrases,or clauses.


    Parallelism in Business Writing

    ● Parallelism is the use of similar structures in related words,


    clauses, or phrases. This creates a sense of rhythm and
    balance in a sentence. As readers, we often correct incorrect
    parallelism — the lack of parallel structure — intuitively
    because unbalanced sentences sound awkward and are
    poorly constructed.
    In business writing, as in all writing, you need to be consistent.
    When expressing ideas that are just as important in your
    writing, such as a to-do list on a resume, being consistent in
    how you express tasks is important. Using parallel sentence
    structures can provide balance and rhythm to your writing to
    help convey your meaning. You can use a parallel structure in
    any type of writing you do, whether it's active or not.
    Why is Parallelism
    important in Writing???

    ● Why is it important to use parallel


    structure? Lack of parallel structure can
    disrupt the rhythm of a sentence, leaving
    it grammatically unbalanced. Proper
    parallel structure helps to establish
    balance and flow in a well-constructed
    sentence; the alignment of related ideas
    supports readability and clarity.

    01 *Read aloud and proudly

    02 Reading essays or other written work


    aloud is one of the best ways to look
    03
    for structures that sound odd. This is
    very effective when looking for false
    parallelisms at the sentence level, but
    should not be neglected when looking
    for essay-level parallel structures that
    are not entirely correct.
    Sentence Structure Matching Improves
    Paragraph Clarity

    Even without having


    to read it aloud, you
    may notice the
    paragraph is written
    as a list.

    02
    •Tenses Count, but So Do Forms

    03

    The fourth sentence presents us


    with another problem – the verb
    “create” is in a different form than
    in the previous two sentences
    01 Where to Look for
    Parallelisms
    02

    03 Because of their ability to


    make or break an essay,
    parallelisms are well worth
    the attention that goes into
    creating good ones and
    correcting faulty ones.
    Example:
    ● Wrong:
    ● My education, my experience, and my
    ability to complete complex projects
    qualify me for the job.
    ● Right:
    ● My education, my experience, and my
    ability to complete complex projects
    qualify me for the job.
    The main purpose.
    ● A simple way to check for parallelism in your writing is to make
    sure you have paired nouns with nouns, verbs with verbs,
    prepositional phrases with prepositional phrases, and so on.
    Underline each element in a sentence and check that the
    corresponding element uses the same grammatical form.
