OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Oops, sorry! The underlined words are Shorts, T-shirts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well a complete subject consists of all descriptive words, a verb, and who is doing the verb a compound subject has two or more subjects joined together by a conjunction a simple subject is just the main word that tells who/what the sentence is about.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Oh, in this case, Shorts and T-shirts are the subjects, so it is a compound verb. Am I right?

an ex for simple would be: every child needs love and nurturing ex for compound: Dolphins AND Elephants are intelligent. ex for complete: A talented, feminine ballerina gracefully leaped across the stage which do you think best fits?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Well, it isn't a complete because there isn't any commas. So I believe it is still a compound because ,"Shorts AND blue T-shirts".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would be what I would put down. (:

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
