第十一章 平行结构

许多句子在描述一个人或一件物品时往往会出现一系列修饰语；动词的修饰语， 即副词往往也会几个同时使用，构成平行结构，平行结构要求语法结构须保持一致，如：

1．系列动词：

after school, we sang, danced and played the piano in the classroom.

2．系列形容词：

She is slim, tall, blond and beautiful.

3．系列副词：

The students are listening to me carefully and eagerly.

平行结构不仅包括动词，形容词，副词，也包括分词，不定式，动名词，名词短语和句子等的平行用法，务必提高辨别力。
