AI Overview

"She enjoys painting, drawing, and


sculpting."
"The key to success is planning ahead, working
hard, and staying focused."
"He spent his weekend hiking, "shing, and
camping."
"Learning a new language involves listening
actively, practicing regularly, and reading
extensively."
"Her hobbies include cooking, gardening, and
kni#ing."

Explanation: In all these sentences, the parallel


structure is achieved by using the "-ing" form
(gerund) of the verbs consistently throughout
the list of activities.

Non-parallel example (to avoid): "She enjoys


painting, to draw, and sculpting." (This is
incorrect because it mixes a gerund with an
in$nitive).
