Parallelism in grammar is defined as two or more phrases or clauses in a sentence that have the same grammatical structure.

Explanation:

For instance:
-Mary likes to hike, to swim, and to ride a bicycle.
-Mary likes hiking, swimming, and bicycling.
-Mary likes to hike, swim, and ride a bicycle.

An incorrect example would be:
-Mary likes hiking, swimming, and to ride a bicycle.
-Mary likes to hike, to swim, and bicycling.
