Parallel Structure
One use of a conjunctions is to connect wordsor phrases that have same grammatical
function in a sentence.
This use of conjunctions is called “ parallel
structure”. The conjunctions used in this pattern are and, but, or, nor. These words arecalled “coordinating conjunctions”

In (h) : either + noun + or + noun
In (i) : neither + adjective + nor + adjective

COMBINATING INDEPENDENT CLAUSES WITH
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
(a) It was raining. There was a strong wind.
(b) INCORRECT PUNCTUATION: It was raining hard,there was a strong wind.
Example (a) contains two independent clauses (i.e.,two complete sentences).
Notice the punctuation. A period, NOT A COMMA,is used to separate two independent clauses. Thepunctuation in (b) is not correct; the error in (b) iscalled “a run-on sentence”

(d) It was raining hard and there was a strong wind.(e) It was raining hard. And there was a strong wind.
A conjunction may be used to connect twoindependent clauses. PUNCTUATION: Usually acomma immediately precedes the conjunction, as in(c).

(g) The child hid behind his mother’s skirt, for hewas afraid of the dog.
(h) She did not study, yet she passed the exam.
In addition to and, but, or, and nor, otherconjunctions are used to connect two independentclauses:
so (meaning “therefore, as a result”)
for (meaning “because”) yet (meaning “but, nevertheless”)
A comma almost always preceds so, for, and yetwhen they are used as coordinating conjunctions.
