Parallelism With Pronouns

By Abhishek Tomar on Aug 24, 2009 with Comments 1

Till now I expect that you may be  pretty comfortable with the pronouns. Pronouns are everywhere. You cannot run away from them. pronouns such as which, that, those, who etc are always used.

Remember: If in the sentence one particular pronoun is mention than you should use that pronoun in every part to make the similar pattern in a sentence.

For Example:

Incorrect: I prefer to take employees WHO work hard to those THAT don’t
Correct : I prefer to take employees WHO work hard to those WHO don’t

Pronouns are always been used to make sentences parallel. Like:

Incorrect: Ramya likes a variety of people, including THOSE WHO are popular and WHO are not.
Correct:  Ramya likes a variety of people, including THOSE WHO are popular and THOSE WHO are not.

Idioms Parallelism

Idioms you can say is a self make parallel phrases, that are always correct. If you are from the English native country than you are GOD gifted. No need to worry about the idiom problem but a caution word, be alert when dealing with Idioms.

For people who are not from English speaking country here is a solution, I am giving you a chart to mug it up.

In this chart you will find that X is always parallel to Y.
