I reviewed the part 9 of Bedford today and learned lots of knowledge which I might ignored before. There are some meaningful grammars about parallel ideas which need to be paid attention in the future.
First of all, it is necessary to put one or more informations into a series.
e.g.
1） A good singer needs not only excellent voice but also reputation, good lifestyles, and they are modest. （In this sentence, all the items should be nouns so they are modest has to be changed to modesty.）
In addition, when coordinating conjunctions are located between two parallel ideas, the forms of the ideas must be same.
e.g.
1）Katy Perry is making her new album and preparing for her solo concert these days. （In this example, the verb making and preparing are balanced.）
When parallel ideas are connected with some conjunctions such as whether...or, neither...nor, not only...but also, the grammatical form of second half must be the same with the structure of first half.
e.g.
1）Switzerland is not only a wealthy country but also a peaceful country. （Sometimes, it is easy to add is after but also; however, it makes the two parts of sentence become unbalanced.）
