I have a student who is working on parallel structure, and one of thesentences she encountered in her lesson is as follows: The Bensons enjoy snow skiing in the winter, going to baseball gamesin the spring, and water skiing in the summer. This sentence has faulty parallelism because going to baseballgames is a different structure from the other two elements in thesentence. My question is, how could you fix this sentence and still keepthe original idea intact? I'm drawing a blank.... Let me know your ideas! Lorraine Dutton lad-oh@etop.org
