Parallel structure is a writing technique that involves using the same grammatical structure for similar ideas or items in a sentence or a series of sentences. In the given example, each phrase begins with "I forgave you" followed by a specific action, such as "when you lost my dog," "when you were late picking me up from the library," and "when you forgot to come to my soccer match." The consistent structure and repetition of the verb "forgave" followed by supporting clauses create parallelism in the sentence.
