When a sentence has two or more subjects, this means that it has a compound subject. Seems easy when you know and follow some rules.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All valid sentences in English grammar are composed of a subject and a predicate.<\/li>\n<li>A subject is the part of a sentence that contains the person or thing performing an action (verb), while a predicate contains the action, and expresses what is said of the subject.<\/li>\n<li>There are three types of subjects and predicates. We have simple subjects, compound subjects and complete subjects while under predicates, we have simple predicates, compound predicates and complete predicates.<\/li>\n<li>A simple subject\u00a0is just who or what is doing the action without any modifiers, while a simple predicate is just the action that is done in the sentence.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, a\u00a0complete predicate\u00a0includes the verb and all the words that explain it, while a complete subject is a simple subject, with modifiers (often adjectives).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let us now discuss our topic of interest, compound subject, extensively.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a compound subject and predicate?<\/h2>\n<p>It is a\u00a0subject\u00a0with more than one simple subject, all sharing the same verb and joined by a conjunction. A\u00a0compound predicate\u00a0has two or more verbs that share the same subject and are joined by a conjunction.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a compound subject example and a compound predicate;<br \/>\n<strong>Mom and dad<\/strong> will come to my graduation &#8211; compound subject.<br \/>\nI <strong>did my homework<\/strong> and <strong>played football<\/strong> &#8211; compound predicate<\/p>\n<h2>How do you find a compound subject in a sentence?<\/h2>\n<p>1. Compound subjects joined by &#8220;and&#8221;<br \/>\nWhen a sentence has more than one subject, it is important to remember to follow the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.englishforums.com\/blog\/subject-verb-agreement-why-does-it-matter\/\">subject-verb<\/a> order. The two must agree in number. There exists a<strong> singular subject<\/strong> which has one subject and a <strong>plural subject<\/strong> which has two or more subjects.<br \/>\nExamples:<br \/>\nA singular subject<em>:\u00a0Anne<\/em><strong>\u00a0likes<\/strong> cake.<br \/>\nA plural subject:<strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em>Ann and Kate<\/em><strong> \u00a0like <\/strong>cake<br \/>\nNotice that the word &#8220;like&#8221; changes to be on par with the subject.<br \/>\nA singular subject uses a singular verb while a plural subject uses a plural verb.<br \/>\nIn rare cases, a compound subject can be treated as singular. This applies to a situation where the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.englishforums.com\/blog\/simple-compound-complex-sentences\/\">compound subject<\/a> refers to the same person, for example:<br \/>\nHis only<strong> son and heir<\/strong>\u00a0will rule this kingdom.<br \/>\nHere, the two subjects, &#8220;son&#8221; and &#8220;heir&#8221; refer to the same person.<br \/>\nExamples using &#8220;and&#8221;<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Orange and red<\/em> are some of the rainbow colors.<\/li>\n<li><em>My mother and sister<\/em> left last night<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some compound subjects when used together with &#8220;and&#8221;, still remain singular. These subjects are almost like compound nouns. They include common pairings that make up one bigger thing.<br \/>\n<strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Peanut butter and jelly<\/em><strong>\u00a0<em>is<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0my favorite kind of sandwich.<\/li>\n<li><em>Rice and beans<\/em><strong>\u00a0is<\/strong>\u00a0what\u2019s for dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2. Compound subjects joined by &#8220;or&#8221; and &#8220;nor&#8221;<br \/>\nNote that using &#8220;either\/or&#8221; and &#8220;neither\/nor&#8221; does not create a plural verb, provided the simple subjects are singular.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neither Janet nor John\u00a0<strong>has<\/strong>\u00a0a suggestion.<\/li>\n<li>Janet or John\u00a0<strong>has<\/strong>\u00a0a suggestion.<\/li>\n<li>Janet or the <em>men<\/em>\u00a0<strong>have<\/strong>\u00a0a suggestion.\u00a0It is now plural because one of the simple subjects (&#8220;the men&#8221;) is plural.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If we follow the proximity rule in grammar, the <a href=\"https:\/\/academicguides.waldenu.edu\/writingcenter\/grammar\/subjectverbagreement#:~:text=When%20a%20compound%20subject%20contains,called%20the%20rule%20of%20proximity.\">simple subject<\/a> nearest the verb governs it. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neither the men nor Janet\u00a0<strong>have<\/strong>\u00a0a suggestion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is wrong under the Proximity Rule because &#8220;Janet&#8221; (singular) is the nearest to<em> &#8220;have.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nIt should be :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neither Janet nor the men\u00a0<strong>have<\/strong>\u00a0a suggestion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More examples:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Neither the cake nor the juice<\/em> was delivered yesterday.<\/li>\n<li><em>Either your mother or sister<\/em> will search for the company&#8217;s address.<\/li>\n<li><em>Either the brown puppy or the tan one<\/em>\u00a0is getting adopted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Another example of compound subject connection is the use of <strong>both&#8230;..and <\/strong>and <strong>not only&#8230;.but also. <\/strong>These conjunctions also play an important role in creating compound subjects<br \/>\nExamples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Both Harry and Grace<\/em> are intelligent.<\/li>\n<li>They are <em>not only<\/em> poor <em>but also<\/em> sick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. Compound subject: Compound Components<br \/>\nCompound subjects introduce new components to sentences. They increase specificity and detail.<br \/>\nWhenever there&#8217;s a list of three or more items, we&#8217;re separating the last item in the list with a comma before the &#8220;and&#8221; or &#8220;or.&#8221; This is referred to as the oxford comma.<br \/>\nCompound subject examples with commas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Rachel, Kim, and Stacy<\/em>\u00a0are all on vacation in the Bahamas.<\/li>\n<li>Choosing between <em>friendship, loyalty, or love<\/em>\u00a0is difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Determining the plurality or singularity of a compound subject isn\u2019t always easy.<br \/>\nWhen using phrases, such as \u201cin conjunction with\u201d or &#8220;as well as,\u201d the verb takes on a singular agreement. This is because the\u00a0noun following the\u00a0preposition\u00a0is a part of a prepositional phrase, not a subject.<br \/>\nExample:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Rachel<\/em>\u00a0<em>in agreement with Ruth<\/em>\u00a0attended the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here, \u201cIn agreement with Ruth\u201d is a prepositional phrase which means it is not a part of a compound subject. Therefore, a singular verb is used.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a compound subject sentence?<\/h2>\n<p>We use <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.sfbar.org\/2013\/07\/31\/legal-writing-tip-the-three-types-of-compound-words\/\">compound subjects<\/a> in English grammar to avoid repetition. A compound subject can say what would otherwise be said in two sentences.<br \/>\nCompound subject examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jane plays basketball. Jerry plays basketball. George plays basketball.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instead, we can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Jane, Jerry, and George play basketball.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The three individual sentences are joined together to form a compound subject sentence which has reduced the repetition that was present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you ready to learn a lesson on compound subjects?
