I read today in Modifiers that:
a verb CANNOT be parallel to a verb-ed modifier, even if they have the identical structure.
Can someone explain to me what this means

Are you done with chapter on parallelism?
Verb can be parallel only to a verb.
modifier can be parallel only to a modifier.
If Ved is a modifier, then it can be parallel to another participle modifier-- Ved or Ving as per CONTEXT-- but it cannot be parallel to a working verb because only verb can be parallel to a verb.
