Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases, clauses, or
13
1
sentences. The elements joined should have equal
13
1
grammatical weight--for example, nouns with other nouns,
13
1
verbs with other verbs, clauses with other clauses of equal
13
1
rank. In other words, the elements should be parallel.
