Question

Explain what a compound subject, and a compound verb, also explain a compound phrase.

Answer 1

ok let's start with compound subject...

Compound subject means more than one subject.

Examples:
"Elephants","lions","monkeys", and "zebras" can be found in zoos.
"John" and "Suzy" are siblings.
"Frost" and "Count" are working on English.

Do you have any questions or do you understand?

Answer 2

I understand compound subject now.

Answer 3

ok good next is compound verb...

Compound verb means more than one verb for one subject or one compound subject.

Correct Examples:
John "watered" and "fertilized" his garden.
Jack and Jill "picked" apples and "walked" home.

Incorrect Example:
*Notice the difference here

Jack picked apples,and Jill walked home.

*This is NOT a compound verb because the two verbs have "different" subjects.

Remember a compound subject is more than one verb for only one subject or one compound subject.

Answer 7

ok ok. lastly compound phrases. this is a bit difficult to explain but...

Simple Sentence: has one phrase.

Example:
John ate pizza.

Compound Sentence: has two phrases combined with a conjunction, and each phrase can stand alone separately.

Example:
John ate pizza,and Joe ate a sandwich.

Complex sentence: has one phrase that can stand alone, and one that cannot.

Example:
John ate the pizza that his mother packed.

PHRASE 1: CAN stand alone.
John ate the pizza.

PHRASE 2: Can NOT stand alone.
that his mother packed.

Compound-Complex Sentence: has two phrases that can stand alone and one or more phrases that can not stand alone.

Example:
I want to play in the snow, but unless I can find my gloves , I can't.

PHRASE 1: CAN stand alone.
I want to play in the snow.

PHRASE 2: Can NOT stand alone.
unless I can find my gloves
