Sentences

Today we studied simple and compound  predicates:

Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. But sometimes a sentence has compound subject and compound predicate.

A. What is a compound subject?

A compound subject consists of two or more simple subjects joined by a conjunction and, or, or nor. The subjects share the same verb.

 Example:Rangers and loggers ^{(compound subject)} explore and protect the forest.

B. What is a compound predicate?

A compound predicate consists of two or more verbs or verb phrases. The simple predicates are connected by and, but, or nor. The verbs share the same subject.

Example:Rangers explore and protect the forest ^{(compound predicate)}.
