OpenStudy (squirrels):

Now a "compound" subject is pretty much the same thing but with two main persons/things. Example: "Steven" or the "cousins" has cleaned the garage.

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Haha its okay, cod:P Anyways deadpool, now we have to find verb that agrees with the compound subject. A verb is the action that the subject is doing.
