Parallelism, Comparisons and Idioms

Is it just me or does it seem these topics overlap a lot?

Hi dav.lee,

Yes, comparisons can be considered a subset of parallelism and some idioms have parallelism built into them.

Sunil is exactly right! I teach comparisons as a subset of parallelism, and there are indeed a number of idioms that also require parallelism. Those connections can help you to learn the material better!
