What I Need to Know

[illustration: hand pressing a circular button, section icon]

This module is developed based on the Most Essential Learning Competency presented in the week 3 of the English 8 curriculum guide for the third quarter. The lesson found in this module is split into self-contained units with their own activities and notes for further reading.

This lesson helps you on how to use parallel structures. It is also anchored with different activities that are highly engaging and thus, helps you effectively understand the role to play of these structures; in what they are doing in a sentence; and guide you through your writing or giving a speech.

Furthermore, in this module, the learner will be adept in improving their writings to a more consistent one and thus, gives justice to the structure and context of the writing.

The Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) covered in this module is using parallel structures.

Objectives:

Specifically, you are to:

1. define parallel structures;
2. familiarize the rules on parallel structures;
3. express appreciation on the rules of parallel structures;
4. differentiate coordinating conjunction from correlating conjunction;
5. identify errors in parallel structures; and
6. write sentences using parallel structures correctly.

Lesson 1: Using Parallel Structures

What’s In

[illustration: two hands joining puzzle pieces, section icon]

In school, you are expected to write a lot of things, from essays to research work. To help keep ideas freely flow, you need to use appropriate conjunctions.

Directions: Rewrite the following passages by filling the blank spaces with suitable linking words from the list given at the end of each passage. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Typhoon Auring was expected to land in Caraga last February. _____ the rescue team have to be ready on that day. _____ those who live near the coastal areas _____ mountains were advised to evacuate _____ many of them did not listen.
   (although, and, but, moreover, therefore)

[photo: screenshot of the music video with the caption “FAR OVER THE MISTY MOUNTAINS COLD” over a waterfall; player shows 0:35 / 8:06]

Far Over the Misty Mountain Cold Clamavi De Profundis

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To seek our pale enchanted gold.
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells,
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught,
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, on twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.
Goblets they carved there for themselves,
And harps…

What is It

To improve the clarity of your writing, it is important to remember the equality of your sentence structure. This module was designed to help you better understand the importance of Using Parallel Structures.

Parallel Structure means using the same construction for sentence elements that are the same in function.

Below are three rules to consider when checking for Parallel Structure in your writing:

1. Parallel Structure should be used when elements are joined by coordinating conjunctions:

   
   

   Incorrect: I am allergic to the dog’s hair and how it smells.

   
   

   Correct: I am allergic to the dog’s hair and smell.

   
   

2. Parallel Structure should be used when writing elements in the form of a list or a series:

   
   

   Incorrect: The class valued respect, honesty, and being on time in a teacher.

   
   

   Correct: The class valued respect, honesty, and promptness in a teacher.

   
   

3. Parallel Structure should be used when comparing or contrasting elements (A is better than B or X is less than Y):

   
   

   Incorrect: James enjoys reading more than to write.

   
   

   Correct: James enjoys reading more than writing.

   
   

Note: If the sentence includes time signals that indicate the action happening at different time or will happen in the future, disregard this rule.

Example: Edna is an industrious student, an obedient daughter, and a loyal friend.

In the use of parallel structure, grammatical balance should be observed. If parallel structure is not observed there will be a disruption of rhythm, thus there will be grammatical unbalance.

More Examples:

1. Toni Gonzaga is a multi-talented celebrity. Singing, acting, and being a host are some of her talents. No error
   What do you think is the error in the sentence?

You are correct! The answer is “being a host“, it is the error in the sentence.

Explanation: In the list of talents that Toni Gonzaga has, two items are gerunds, or verbs being used as nouns (“singing” and “acting”), whereas “being a host” is a phrase. Thus, “being a host” does not fit with the parallel structure, and should be changed to “hosting.”

2. I live in a condominium on a higher floor than my boss. No error
   What do you think is the error in the sentence?

You are correct! The answer is “boss“, it is the error in the sentence.

Explanation: Only like things can be compared. “My apartment” can be compared to “that of my boss” or my “boss”

Correct: I live in a condominium on a higher floor than my boss’ apartment.

Correlative Conjunctions and Parallel Structure

Correlative Conjunctions

either/or neither/nor not/but
not only/but(also) both/and

To use parallel structure in a sentence, words/phrases joined together by correlative conjunctions should be of the same grammatical level or structure.

Wrong: The mall requires not only wearing face masks but also face shields.
Right: The mall requires wearing not only face masks but also face shields.

In the example above the first part of the sentence, not only, joins the verb wanted. While the second part, but also, joins the direct object face masks. To achieve parallel structure, you must join two elements of the same grammatical level.

Neither – Nor Mistakes

The elements joined together by correlative conjunctions should be equal to achieve parallel structure.

An example:

Wrong: For the talent contest, she neither wanted to sing nor to dance.
Right: For the talent contest, she wanted neither to sing nor to dance.

Either – Or Mistakes

Some examples:

Wrong: Either you answer your modules or attending online classes.
Right: Either you answer your modules or attend online classes.

Additional Activity

Just one last step for this module. Have you seen a Molave tree? What are its distinct characteristics? What things can you compare it with?

Directions: Read the following essay and answer the questions that follow. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

Grow and Be Like the Molave

Manuel L. Quezon

Manuel L. Quezon was the first President of the Philippines. He was a member of the Philippine Assembly in 1907 to 1909, resident commissioner to the US Congress in 1909-1916, and president of the Philippine Senate in 1916-1935. He was elected president on September 17, 1935.

As president of the land, Quezon worked hard for the independence of our country, the development of the people and for a national language.

National strength can only be built on character. A nation is nothing more or less than its citizenry. It is the people that make up a nation and, therefore a nation cannot be stronger than its component parts. Their weakness is its failings, their strength its power. Show me a people composed of vigorous, sturdy individuals of men and women healthy in mind and body, courteous, brave, industrious, self-reliant, and purposeful in thoughts as well as in actions, imbued with sound patriotism and a profound sense of righteousness, with high social ideals and strong moral fibers-and I will show you a great nation that will not be submerged. A nation that will emerge victorious from trials and bitter strife of a destructed world. A nation that will live forever, sharing the common task and advancing the welfare and promoting the happiness of mankind.

The upward climb of mankind has been universal. In the human landscape, there are peaks and valleys, and deep chasms. Generally, there is a need for potent social upheavals, volcanic in proportions, to raise the lower levels to grow at heights.

The battle for existence and the survival of the fittest has ever the rule of life, in nature and among men.

It is a heroic task to awaken and apply these faculties so that our people should become what rightly they should be: morally virile, refined, persevering, public-spirited.

I want our people to grow and be like the molave, strong and resilient, unafraid of the raging flood, the lightning or the storm, confident of its own strength.

We are Orientals. Orientals are known for their passivity and placidity. In the world of humanity, we look upon a quiet lake from which adventures and enterprising may reap enjoyment and gain. I refuse to allow Filipinos to be so regarded.

We shall be a flowing stream, a rippling brook, a deep and roaring torrent full of life, of hope, of faith and of strength. Through self-discipline, we shall harness all our energies so that our power spreading over the length and breadth of this land will develop its resources, advance its culture, promote social justice and secure happiness and contentment to all the people under the aegis of liberty and peace.

Think

1. What is the basis of national strength, according to the essay? Do you agree? Explain your answer.
2. What are the peaks, valleys and deep chasms which could hinder the upward climb of mankind?
3. What does the author want the Filipino to be? Can this goal be achieved?
4. What values must we possess to be able to achieve the author’s perceived goal for us?
5. Does paragraph number five (5) have parallel structures? Why?
