can i have an example of a parallel sentence please

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

According to yourdictionary.com, parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance and to help the reader comprehend what is being written.

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

An example would be: Ashley likes to ski, to swim and to jump. This is correct and uses parallel structure. An incorrect version of this sentence would read: Ashley likes to ski, to swim and jumping.
