Parallel Construction
Grammar: Parallel Construction
Parallel Construction Basics
Parallel ideas must be presented in parallel grammatical form, which means that each part of a sentence uses the same grammatical structure.
Examples of Parallel Construction
"Between" and "And"
Incorrect: We debated the difference between the weather in Minnesota in the winter and how hot it is in the summer. Correct: We debated the difference between the weather in Minnesota in the winter and the weather in Minnesota in the summer.
"Both" and "And"
Incorrect: The films were enjoyable both to watch and for discussing. Correct: The films were enjoyable both to watch and to discuss.
"Neither" and "Nor"; "Either" and "Or"
Incorrect: Neither the responses to the questionnaire nor what we asked on the survey were answered. Correct: Neither the responses to the questionnaire nor the responses to the survey were answered.
"Not Only" and "But Also"
Incorrect: It was surprising not only that the house sold, but also it sold well over the asking price. Correct: It was surprising not only that the house sold but also that it sold well over the asking price.
When we listen to the news, or podcasts, or listening exercises in English class, there are usually no extra sounds, like 'uh', 'ummm' or ' er'. The extra sounds are taken out.
But in normal conversation, English speakers use these little extra sounds all the time!
And if you're not used to hearing them, they can be very confusing.
For example, let's look at 'er' in this sentence. 'Er' is an extra thinking sound.
I want - er - to go.
This person pauses and says 'er' to have time to think.
But 'er' sounds very, very similar to 'her'.
The meaning of 'I want her to go' is completely different!
In my opinion, these little words are often the reason why we don't understand someone well.
I think the best way to be able to hear the extra words is to focus a lot on this part of the audio.
In fact, the rhythm of speech and the pauses are a little different with 'her' and 'er'.
We can practise hearing this with natural audio, with a proper transcript that includes extra thinking words.
If you listen to real conversations in small sections, you will start to hear these differences.

Teaching Indian dance class online
And also English lessons.
Indian Dance flexibility exercise workout etc
Private sessions are being taken too online in direct classes live along with recorded ones of choreography, personally suited for clients for specific program use and according to the audience type etc.
I am also a volunteer for the blind and visually impaired, as well take classes for deaf youngsters.
Both Indian Classical Dance lessons and English language learning online has been made possible together, here in an interesting way to learn for students.
Prose as a lesson for English incorporated into Indian Classical Dance Art as a form of culture based activity is the theme of this course.
Traditional Epics and their interpretation in the modern day class for absorbing maximum information in minimum time is attempted here.
It is an effort to bring the intriguing heritage of the land of India, with its vast and fascinating cultural aspects into a course, with lessons put simply together with English, as a Universal language for the medium of instruction.
This is also intended to be an English class learning experience too for non native speakers.
Much of the work is captioned and the music chosen has the feel of spirituality, as a spiritual Indian Dance course with the myriad nuances of English language learnt, as well simultaneously.
Theory and practical lessons are imparted for fundamental level learning of the dance.
This is in addition to the already existing different basic courses, in the same subject here.
This particular course is geared more to choreography for programs or specific needs of instructional video learning, for items based on songs from tales of Indian mythology.
The course is mainly for quick public initial basic training.
These are predominantly recorded lessons of live classes, for learning at one's own pace, having access to repeated lessons revision and for those students from different time zones etc
It will give the students, lifelong access to the lessons.
However, when stuck at home and unable to move about due to increase in restrained activity, the courses will prove to be for an individual, useful for its basic features and resources that are additionally put into them, as a supplement during its making.
