Review Summary

  • Clause A (Verb + Object) + Clause B (Verb + Object) + Clause C (Verb + Object)

Erros comuns

Mixed infinitives and gerunds break the parallel flow. Keep all elements as verbs.

Wrong: Viņš mīl lasīt, rakstot un grāmatas. (He loves reading, writing, and books.)
Correto: Viņš mīl lasīt, rakstīt un pētīt grāmatas. (He loves to read, to write, and to study books.)

Do not mix nouns with subordinate clauses in a list.

Wrong: Mums ir vajadzīgs laiks, nauda un lai mēs strādātu. (We need time, money, and that we work.)
Correto: Mums ir vajadzīgs laiks, nauda un darbs. (We need time, money, and work.)

Adjectives should be parallel. Don't switch to a prepositional phrase.

Wrong: Viņa ir gudra, skaista un ar lielu talantu. (She is smart, beautiful, and with great talent.)
Correto: Viņa ir gudra, skaista un talantīga. (She is smart, beautiful, and talented.)
