Parallel ideas in pairs

When pairing ideas, underscore their connection by expressing them in similar grammatical form. Paired ideas are usually connected in one of these ways:

• with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, and so on)
• with a pair of correlative conjunctions (either . . . or, and so on)
• with a word introducing a comparison, usually than or as
