This document provides instruction on compound subjects and compound predicates. It defines them as sentences with more than one subject or predicate. Examples are given like "Rachel and Steffi read the same book" which has a compound subject. Students are asked to identify compounds in sample sentences and construct their own sentences with compounds for an assessment. Finally, students are given an assignment to combine sentence pairs into compounds.

7. Compound Subject and
Compound Predicate

8.  A sentence has a compound subject
when it has more than one subject. It
has a compound predicate when there
is more than one predicate.
Sometimes sentences can have both
a compound subject and a compound
predicate.

 Rachel and Steffi read the same
book. (compound subject)
 Ulysses ran, swam, and rode a bicycle
in the triathlon. (compound predicate)
 My dog and ferrets play and sleep tog

10.  Compound subjects and predicates
are joined with either the coordinating
conjunctions (and, but, or, nor) or the
correlative conjunctions (both/and,
either/or, neither/nor, not only/but
also).

helping verb, or it might be two (or more)
separate verb phrases.
 Dolphins are
swimming and splashing near our dock.
(swimming and splashing share the helping verb are.)
 Dolphins do swim and do splash near
our dock. (do swim and do splash have the
same helping verb but are two separate verb
phrases.)
 Dolphins do swim and might splash near
our dock (do swim and might splash are two
