Here are the definitions you requested:

  • Faulty pronoun reference happens when a pronoun (like it, they, which) does not clearly refer to a specific noun or antecedent, making the sentence confusing. The reader can't tell who or what the pronoun is referring to.

    • Example: "When the dog chased the cat, it ran up a tree." (Did the dog or the cat run up the tree?)
  • Faulty parallelism occurs when items in a list or series within a sentence are not presented in the same grammatical form. For clarity and balance, all elements in a parallel structure should match in their grammatical type (e.g., all nouns, all verbs, all gerunds, all infinitives).

    • Example: "She enjoys running, to swim, and biking." (The non-parallel element is "to swim"; it should be "swimming" to match the other gerunds.)
  • Cause and effect describes a relationship between events or actions where one event (the cause) directly leads to another event (the effect). The cause explains why something happened, and the effect explains what happened as a result.

    • Example: The cause was the student studied hard, and the effect was that they passed the exam.
