Use Parallel Structure: Review

Practice using parallel structure with this fill-in-the-blank grammar exercise! In writing, use of parallel structure is an important component that helps to create patterns and improve readability and flow for readers. Designed for seventh- and eighth-grade writers, this one-page worksheet begins with an example that compares and contrasts incorrect parallel sentence structure with correct parallel sentence structure, including brief explanations for each. Then, using what they have learned, students will read and complete eight sentences, choosing the answer that allows for proper parallel structure. This activity is a great way to boost students' working knowledge of grammar and mechanics, sentence structure, and overall writing and editing skills.
