Correct! Skew lines can never by be parallel.

They're either parallel lines or skew lines.
No, not always. Skew lines are never coplanar, but parallel lines are.
parallel lines If they are not on the same plane and never intersect they are skew
They're either parallel lines or skew lines.
Never! Coplanar means that the two lines lie in the same two-dimensional plane. The only way that two lines do not intersect in two-dimensional space is if they are parallel. And by definition, skew lines are not allowed to be parallel, either.So essentially there is no such thing as skew lines that only occupy two dimensions. Skew lines must be in three dimensions or higher in order to (1) not intersect and (2) not be parallel with each other.
