Take Your Grammar to the Next Level

Advanced grammar involves making your sentences balanced and clear.

Parallel Structure

Parallelism means using the same grammatical structure for related elements. It makes sentences smoother and easier to read.

• "She likes reading, writing, and drawing." (All gerunds)

Modifiers

Modifiers are words or phrases that describe other words. Place them close to what they describe to avoid confusion.

• Misplaced: "Walking down the street, the trees were beautiful."
• Corrected: "Walking down the street, I saw beautiful trees."

Why This Matters

Parallelism and proper modifier placement help you avoid awkward or confusing sentences—crucial for both the PSAT and real life.
