Feedback
Use the same grammatical form after coordinating conjunctions (both gerunds here).
Items in a list should follow the same grammatical form (all adjectives here).
All items should use the same form. Two use 'to + verb', but one uses a gerund.
Keep the same -ing form.
Match noun + noun + noun.
The structure is parallel infinitives:
- to finish
- to call
- (to) meet
* In parallel structures, “to” can be repeated or omitted after the first two items.
So “meet the deadline” is understood as “to meet the deadline.”
Parallel infinitive verbs.
Use -ing verbs consistently.
After “enjoy,” use gerunds consistently.
Use parallel forms in comparisons (both gerunds here).
Keep the to + base verb pattern
Parallel noun clauses.
Keep the -ing verb form.
Keep to + base verb parallel.
