My confusion here is we are only concerned about parallelism in terms of structure i.e. 2 dependent clauses starting with 'that' are considered parallel.What about the verb form?
When we look for parallelism what do we exactly look for? only the structure should suffice i.e. infinitives are parallel to infinitives,gerunds to gerunds etc.
