Grammar, sentence structure and editing
Edit parallel structures and dangling openings.
Original Kidemy Class 9 progression. This level has its own text, examples and questions. Curriculum versions share the progression; complete board-specific coverage still needs specification matching and additional material.
Learn the idea
Parallel structures present equivalent ideas in matching grammatical forms. A participle opening should modify the appropriate subject. Check meaning as well as surface grammar: an edit that shifts responsibility or time may distort the original.
Worked example
“She enjoys reading, painting and to swim” becomes “reading, painting and swimming”. “Walking home, the rain soaked me” is clearer as “While I was walking home, the rain soaked me”.
- Read the text and identify the purpose.
- Support your answer with a specific detail.
- Revise meaning, structure and accuracy.
