When you're trying to determine whether a sentence is parallel or not, try isolating each individual element. Then, rewrite the sentence with only that section. For instance, in our previous example, "Kate is fast, efficiently, and courteous," both the sentences "Kate is fast," and "Kate is courteous," make perfect sense, since they have a subject, a verb, and an adjective. However, the sentence "Kate is efficiently," doesn't make sense, since "efficiently" is an adverb. The simplest way to fix this sentence to change the adverb "efficiently" to the adjective "efficient." Since "Kate is efficient," is grammatically correct, you know that "Kate is fast, efficient, and courteous," is a parallel sentence. When you're listing a series of similar items, especially infinitive verbs, you may notice some repetition, particularly of the word "to." It's up to you whether to leave the repetition in place, but removing it can make your writing seem more streamlined.The sentence, "He likes to run, to dance, and to sing," is correct, since the verbs are all infinitives, but "He likes to run, dance, and sing," is more to the point.

Summary: Isolate each part of the sentence if you're not sure if it's correct. Omit repeated words in a series to make your writing more concise.
