Ron视频一题平行问题

Blaming its recent troubles on a widening recession and slow rate of technology spending, the computer company announced that it would cut 10 percent of its workforce— more than 2000 jobs— and expected to report a loss in its third quarter.
这里Ron说company announced two things: cut 10% of its workforce; expected to report a loss for Q3, 我想问这里为啥平行是成立的啊，一个would cut一个expected....

Announced and expected are both past tense verbs but they are not necessarily structurally similar. That is because expected is a conditional verb. Expected is thus parallel with "would cut," which is also a conditional verb. A conditional verb expresses a result that is expected from a condition.
