Ahh, remember what I said last time? \(\bf\color{lime}{Simple}\) subject is for one subject. \(\bf\color{lime}{Compound}\) subject is for more than one subject. \(\bf\color{lime}{A~complete~subject}\) is a subject in sentence form. Which one do you think is right? (:

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Why do you think it is A?

imple subject is for one subject

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Correct, but the underlined words is more than a simple subject, it is a phrase, "The astronomy students".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but compound means subject is for more than one subject.
