Today, I came across a sentence pattern in a well-accepted technical document, as follows:

Their X1 are too A1, their X2 too A2, and their X3 too A3.

Is it correct to use only one are in this kind of sentences? Is it applicable for all verbs? Also, what is the English grammar topic that includes this kind of sentences?

    Kris is probably right, but without an example of a real sentence or of a surrounding explanation of the actual context it is hard to be sure. Commented Jan 11, 2019 at 9:01
