Hi all,
I was wondering how we can make sure the items listed after 'consist of' are grammatically parallel.
As in my example,
"Overall, the procedure consists of some major phases, namely the collection of raw clay, production, packaging and distribution."
Can I also use collecting raw clay?
Indeed, I have trouble realising where exactly a NOUN is prioritised over verb+ing to refer to an action, and if we can have a collection of nouns and gerunds in a list.
