So, I noticed that some of my sentences feel choppy, and someone suggested trying parallelism. Honestly, I didn’t fully get it until I looked it up. Like, why does repeating a similar grammatical structure help so much? I tried it once by writing, “She loves running, swimming, and to bike,” and my teacher corrected me to keep the verbs consistent. How important is this for everyday writing?

I just wanted to say, I never paid attention to sentence structure that much before, but this conversation makes me realize how much it affects clarity. I guess it’s the little things that count.
Parallelism is a subtle but powerful tool. I found a great guide on it here: https://www.customwritings.com/howtowrite/post/rhetorical-devices/. Basically, it makes your writing smoother and easier to follow. Keeping similar ideas in the same format creates a rhythm that feels natural. I remember fixing my speech notes to say “We must act quickly, think clearly, and work together” instead of mixing verb forms. It helped the message stick better with my audience.
