Underline the parts of the sentence that aren’t parallel, and then rewrite the sentence to make it parallel.
The Internet is a great tool to get information and for finding old friends.
I wanted to find the address of my old friend and also her telephone number.
She had moved to San Francisco, to Nebraska, and finally she had gone to Connecticut.
Her telephone numbers had been written, and then I had crossed them out in my address book.
I tried calling her most recent number, telephoning directory assistance, and I even tried to contact her old boyfriend.
Searching the Internet for her new number was easier than to get her information any other way.
She had graduated from college, she got married, and she has a baby.
The following are the non-parallel parts of the first 3 sentences:
to get information and for finding old friends
Should be — to get information and to find old friends
the address of my old friend and also her telephone number
Should be — the address and telephone number of my old friend
to San Francisco, to Nebraska, and finally she had gone to Connecticut
Should be — to California, Nebraska, and Connecticut
Now you try the rest, and I’ll check your work.
I wrote her telephone numbers in my address book and crossed them out.
I tried calling her recent number, the directory assistance, and her ex-boyfriend.
The internet was the easiest way to get her number.
She graduated from college, got married, and had a baby.
Thank you! looking forward to it.
