 Far Over the Misty Mountain Cold
Clamavi De Profundis

Far over the Misty Mountains cold, On silver necklaces they strung
To dungeons deep and caverns old, The flowering stars, on crowns they
We must away, ere break of day, hung
To seek our pale enchanted gold. The dragon-fire, on twisted wire
The dwarves of yore made mighty They meshed the light of moon and
spells, sun.
While hammers fell like ringing bells, Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
In places deep, where dark things To dungeons deep and caverns old,
sleep, We must away, ere break of day,
In hollow halls beneath the fells. To claim our long-forgotten gold.
For ancient king and elvish lord Goblets they carved there for
There many a gleaming golden hoard themselves,
They shaped and wrought, and light And harps…
they caught,
To hide in gems on hilt of sword (Source: Musixmatch

What is It

To improve the clarity of your writing, it is important to remember the equality of

your sentence structure. This module was designed to help you better understand
the importance of Using Parallel Structures.

Parallel Structure means using the same construction for sentence elements
that are the same in function.

Below are three rules to consider when checking for Parallel Structure in your
writing:
1. Parallel Structure should be used when elements are joined by coordinating
conjunctions:

Incorrect: I am allergic to the dog’s hair and how it smells.

Correct: I am allergic to the dog’s hair and smell.
2. Parallel Structure should be used when writing elements in the form of a
list or a series:
Incorrect: The class valued respect, honesty, and being on time in a
teacher.
Correct: The class valued respect, honesty, and promptness in a
teacher.

8 CO_Q3_English8_Module 6
3. Parallel Structure should be used when comparing or contrasting elements (A is
better than B or X is less than Y):

Incorrect: James enjoys reading more than to write.

Correct: James enjoys reading more than writing.

Note: If the sentence includes time signals that indicate the action
happening at different time or will happen in the future, disregard this rule.

Example:
Edna is an industrious student, an obedient daughter, and a loyal friend.

In the use of parallel structure, grammatical balance should be observed. If parallel

structure is not observed there will be a disruption of rhythm, thus there will be
grammatical unbalance.

More Examples:

1. Toni Gonzaga is a multi-talented celebrity. Singing, acting, and being a host

are some of her talents. No error
What do you think is the error in the sentence?

You are correct! The answer is “being a host”, it is the error in the
sentence.

Explanation:
In the list of talents that Toni Gonzaga has, two items are gerunds, or verbs
being used as nouns ("singing" and "acting"), whereas "being a host" is a phrase. Thus,
"being a host" does not fit with the parallel structure, and should be changed to
"hosting.”

2. I live in a condominium on a higher floor than my boss. No error

What do you think is the error in the sentence?

You are correct! The answer is “boss”, it is the error in the sentence.

Explanation:
Only like things can be compared. "My apartment" can be compared to
"that of my boss" or my "boss”

Correct: I live in a condominium on a higher floor than my boss’

apartment.

9 CO_Q3_English8_Module 6
Correlative Conjunctions and Parallel Structure

Correlative Conjunctions
either/or neither/nor not/but
not only/but(also) both/and

To use parallel structure in a sentence, words/phrases joined together by

correlative conjunctions should be of the same grammatical level or structure.

Wrong: The mall requires not only wearing face masks but also face
shields.
Right: The mall requires wearing not only face masks but also face shields.

In the example above the first part of the sentence, not only, joins the verb wanted.
While the second part, but also, joins the direct object face masks. To achieve
parallel structure, you must join two elements of the same grammatical level.

Neither - Nor Mistakes

The elements joined together by correlative conjunctions should be equal to achieve
parallel structure.

An example:

Wrong: For the talent contest, she neither wanted to sing nor to
dance.
Right: For the talent contest, she wanted neither to sing nor to
dance.

Either - Or Mistakes
Some examples:
Wrong: Either you answer your modules or attending online classes.
Right: Either you answer your modules or attend online classes.

 Additional Activity

Just one last step for this module. Have you seen a Molave tree? What are its
distinct characteristics? What things can you compare it with?

Directions: Read the following essay and answer the questions that follow. Write
your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

Grow and Be Like the Molave

Manuel L. Quezon

Manuel L. Quezon was the first President of the Philippines. He was a member
of the Philippine Assembly in 1907 to 1909, resident commissioner to the US Congress
in 1909-1916, and president of the Philippine Senate in 1916-1935. He was elected
president on September 17, 1935.
As president of the land, Quezon worked hard for the independence of our
country, the development of the people and for a national language.

National strength can only be built on character. A nation is nothing more or

less than its citizenry. It is the people that make up a nation and, therefore a nation
cannot be stronger than its component parts. Their weakness is its failings, their
strength its power. Show me a people composed of vigorous, sturdy individuals of
men and women healthy in mind and body, courteous, brave, industrious, self-
reliant, and purposeful in thoughts as well as in actions, imbued with sound
patriotism and a profound sense of righteousness, with high social ideals and strong
moral fibers-and I will show you a great nation that will not be submerged. A nation
that will emerge victorious from trials and bitter strife of a destructed world. A nation
that will live forever, sharing the common task and advancing the welfare and
promoting the happiness of mankind.

The upward climb of mankind has been universal. In the human landscape,
there are peaks and valleys, and deep chasms. Generally, there is a need for potent
social upheavals, volcanic in proportions, to raise the lower levels to grow at heights.

The battle for existence and the survival of the fittest has ever the rule of life,
in nature and among men.

It is a heroic task to awaken and apply these faculties so that our people
should become what rightly they should be: morally virile, refined, persevering,
public-spirited.

I want our people to grow and be like the molave, strong and resilient, unafraid
of the raging flood, the lightning or the storm, confident of its own strength.

19 CO_Q3_English8_Module 6
 We are Orientals. Orientals are known for their passivity and placidity. In the
world of humanity, we look upon a quiet lake from which adventures and
enterprising may reap enjoyment and gain. I refuse to allow Filipinos to be so
regarded.

We shall be a flowing stream, a rippling brook, a deep and roaring torrent full
of life, of hope, of faith and of strength. Through self-discipline, we shall harness all
our energies so that our power spreading over the length and breadth of this land
will develop its resources, advance its culture, promote social justice and secure
happiness and contentment to all the people under the aegis of liberty and peace.

Think

1. What is the basis of national strength, according to the essay? Do you agree?
Explain your answer.

2. What are the peaks, valleys and deep chasms which could hinder the upward
climb of mankind?

3. What does the author want the Filipino to be? Can this goal be achieved?

4. What values must we possess to be able to achieve the author’s perceived goal
for us?

5. Does paragraph number five (5) have parallel structures? Why?
