It sets up the 3 sports in a clearer way.

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