Compound Subject and Compound Predicate
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.
Examples: 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 together. ( compound subject and predicate)
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 ).
A compound predicate might share a 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 separate verb phrases.).
Let’s try! Directions: Read the following sentences carefully. Identify the compound subject and compound predicate. If the sentence has a compound subject , underline each simple subject once. Encircle the conjunction. If the sentence has a compound predicate, underline each verb twice and encircle the conjunction.
Intelligence, courage, and luck can help people survive. Food and clean water may become scarce. Many young people join the army or work in factories. Families and friends often help each other during times of hardship. During the war, people sometimes leave their homes and lose their belongings.
