In this lesson we're going to discuss correlatives pairs and making sure that correlatives pairs maintain
parallel structure.
So this is the last lesson we're going to talk about in terms of power structure.
And of course you know you're going to keep an eye out to make sure things are parallel but you also
need to learn what the Carlota pairs are because Karlton pairs are pairs of words that must go together.
OK so you need to just really memorize which pairs go together.
For example in this sentence when we say you must not only learn grammar but also vocabulary not only
and but also a parallel when you have not only it must be followed by but also.
Now it does NOT be exactly like this I could say.
John not only eat fish but he also eats beef.
So it sort of thing but also I said but he also that.
Now that's also acceptable.
OK.
So there's a little bit of leeway in how you do it.
But you know there has to be but also structure following the not only.
OK.
So make sure that you find out and memorize these pairs.
OK.
So what are these pairs.
Not only but also as we've mentioned either or neither nor both and between and from to not for but
for not so much for as four at once and so these are paired together.
You probably know most of these are pretty obvious and between here and there from here to there not
for her looks but for her personality not so much for her looks as for her personality.
And that once tired and energized.
So this last one you know even though it's a contrast you know tired and energized because I'm seeing
that happening at the same time.
That's why I use and rather than but.
OK so anyway these are the main ones have come up like a lot in past safety tests.
So if you memorize these ones you should be pretty much good to go.
So once you make sure that of course the pair is together if you see one part make sure you see the
other part.
You also have to make sure that the words that come off of the color the pairs are grammatically parallel.
So when I say he's at once brilliant and a criminal there's a problem with that.
That's because at once and then of course are the correlated pair.
But the words that came after then brilliant and criminal are not parallel.
Brilliant of course is an adjective.
A criminal is a noun.
So this would be an incorrect sentence.
I could say though he's at once brilliant and insane because of course brilliant insane.
They're both adjectives and meaning wise and makes sense because it's a contrast right at the same time.
He's brilliant.
He's insane.
OK so remember you want to try and memorize those quality pairs off the back here so you can kind of
take a look here.
These are the words you want to make sure you remember.
And also make sure that the things become the DOT DOT DOT are grammatically parallel as well.
OK let's skip ahead back to the example now.
Read this example.
Pause it.
And when you think you've identified the Carlota pair like your choice
OK.
Fairly easy one.
You probably saw not only right away here's not only so I need to have but also so a beanie are incorrect.
It's either going to b c or d.
So what should it be used to be also by the or Also the whole deal looks shorter.
But remember it has to be parallel tested not only by so to make this parallel I should say also but
also by.
So C is the correct answer here.
OK.
Next example cocoa is popular with Europeans before either tea and coffee.
It can happen gradually spreading from Spain and Portugal to Italy Austria France and then across the
town to the British Isles.
Did you see any carload of pears there either.
So either you should go with either tea or coffee not the coffee OK last example the director vowed
the actor not so much for his broad commercial appeal but because he approached every role with passion
intelligence to try to remember what the quality pairs were and maintain parallel structure.
Press Pause if you need to take your time
okay so we saw not so much for not so much for his broad commercial appeal as for as for so I want to
pick D or E here.
As for what well it was not so much for.
His broad commercial appeal.
So the Pallister sure there would be probably his passionate and intelligent approach that's more parallel
than him approaching every role.
So the answer here is e.
OK a nice easy example to finish it off.
What's the answer.
Well you can see that I have it but also as an option.
And also it also makes me think right away that it might be a quality pair and if I look up the there's
you're not only because it's not only must have of course but also so the answer is C.
