2. Compound Subjects and Predicates permission to dance

3. Sentences Every sentence must have a subject and a verb to be complete. But what happens if your sentence has two subjects performing the same action — or a subject performing two different actions? Compound subjects and compound predicates can add variety and depth to your writing.

4. Compound Subject When a sentence has two or more subjects, that’s called a compound subject. These subjects perform the same action and are equally important in the sentence. But how does it work with the subject-verb agreement? Are compound subjects considered to be plural or singular?

5. Joanie  and  Chachi  love each other. Mr. Madison  and   the students  are leaving soon. The  cat ,  the   dog   and   the   rabbit  stay indoors. The  fork   and   spoons  need to be washed. Compound subjects are considered plural when joined by a coordinating conjunction, such as "and." For example:

6. The  piano  or the  bookcase  has to go. ("bookcase" is singular; so is "has") The  piano  or the  tables  have to go. ("tables" is plural; so is "have") Neither the  pillows  nor the  curtains  match the couch. ("curtains" is plural; so is "match") Neither the  pillows  nor the  blanket  matches the couch. ("blanket is singular; so is "matches")x Use a plural verb when joining two subjects in this way. When using a correlative conjunction ("either/or" or "neither/nor"), the verb agrees with the subject that is closest to the verb. For example:

7. A compound predicate occurs when a subject performs two or more actions in a sentence. When the actions are simple verbs, compound predicates are sometimes known as compound verbs. However, compound predicates can also be two complete verb phrases performed by the same subject.  Compound Predicate

8. Jamie  ran ,  swam ,  and   rode  all across the county. My sister  fixed  the car   and  drove  it home . We  played  poker  and   watched  movies until midnight. The individual verbs can be joined by a coordinating conjunction. For example (verbs are bolded):

9. I'd love to visit Scotland, but my brother wants to go to Brazil. The dog growled so the child backed away. These cookies look delicious; I'm so glad you brought them! Compound Subject vs. Compound Predicate

10. I'd love to visit Scotland, but my brother wants to go to Brazil. The dog growled so the child backed away. These cookies look delicious; I'm so glad you brought them! It may seem like these sentences have compound subjects and compound predicates. However, each clause only has one subject and one predicate. For example, in "I'd love to visit Scotland, but my brother wants to go to Brazil,"  I  and  my brother  are the subjects, and they each perform one action ( love  and  wants ) .  Compound Subject vs. Compound Predicate
