parallel structure !! plz help me hi guys, Is this sentence grammatically correct? "It can increase basal metabolic rate, reduces appetite, and helps in the reduction of body fat." In my points of view, we should use "verbs" in parallel structure? and the correct one should be like this: "It can increase basal metabolic rate, reduce appetite, and help in the reduction of body fat." Because of using modal, all the verbs should be in their basic forms. Am I correct and the first sentence is wrong? Thanks
