Listing personal strengths
Hi teachers,
One of the threads has the following sentences listing personal strengths. And I just wonder why "accept" and "deliver" are used since the rest of the strenghts being described are of "noun phrase"? Thank you.
TEXT:
"My personal strengths are a positive attitude, exceptional interpersonal skills, ability to work in a team, accept challenging assignments, ability to focus my energy and firm’s resources on the desired objectives, and deliver results."

My personal strengths include a positive attitude, exceptional interpersonal skills, and the ability to work in a team, accept challenges, focus my energy and the firm's resources on our objec
