If I prefer to say "will be imported", then I am supposed to say: 'they will be exported' in order to make it parallel?

Indonesia’s oil import and export activities are also aimed at achieving the optimum benefit from Indonesia’s refinery capacity. Despite of their high quality, some types of crudes are not suitable for domestic refinery configuration. Therefore, THEY ARE exported and then the more suitable and cheaper crude oils WILL BE imported.

"Despite their high quality," Delete "of"

The present verb tense "are" is used in the other 2 sentences. By using "will be", it is implied that it is not happening now. If it is happening now, then I would use "are".

Does that help?

Here's how it should read: Indonesia’s oil import and export activities are also aimed at achieving the optimum benefit from Indonesia’s refinery capacity. Despite their high quality, some types of crudes are not suitable for domestic refinery configuration. Therefore, THEY ARE exported and the more suitable and cheaper crude oils are imported.

Not technically. When they're talking about the exportation of oil, they're aren't necessarily speaking about the future, but more about present and habitual action. I'm assuming you're not talking about want Indonesia plans to do in the future with oil. It would be good to change the last clause to "cheaper crude oils are imported."

I think it sounds good. One thing I would change is:


For this reason, they are exported and the more suitable and cheaper crude oils will then be imported.

To go along with the rest of your paragraph I would say,

"Therfore, they are exported and then the more suitable and cheaper crude oils are imported."

"Morphologically?" He ought to propose the type that the verb takes. enable's look at an occasion sentence: have been I a duck, i might fly out right here speedy. have been right here must be the comparable as latest or previous demanding variety. i'm able to purely think of of "have been you a duck? " it is previous demanding. or perhaps he's no longer speaking approximately this in any respect. or perhaps he ability which you type all different tenses utilising components of the present and previous tenses. So in certainty i might say that morphologically is the respond on your question. i think which you had to comprehend a particular morphologically alongside with the kind of adjustments. yet that may no longer what you asked in any respect. you purely decide for the kind of adjustments. Or do you elect for the names of each and every of the tenses and examples of each and every -- somebody has given you that. i'm thinking there would others which you haven't any longer heard of yet. i'm able to think of of pluperfect.

In your example the singular would be "it" - it will be exported -or to use the name of the thing like you did - oil will be exported -.

The verbs also make a difference the word -"is" - is singular and the word - "are" - is plural eg - he is - they are -

singular nouns must go with singular verbs and plural nouns must go with plural verbs

You are correct in using "they will be exported" as a plural
