Identify the compound subject or compound predicate of a sentence

Key Notes :

What is a Sentence?

A sentence has two main parts:

• Subject 🌿 → who/what the sentence is about
• Predicate ⚡ → what the subject does or is

What is a Compound Subject?

A compound subject has two or more subjects joined by a word like “and” or “or”. 🔗

1. 👩 Riya and Ananya are studying for the test.
   • CS: Riya and Ananya
   • Predicate: are studying for the test
2. 🐶 Dogs and cats need care and love.
   • CS: Dogs and cats
   • Predicate: need care and love
3. 🚴 Sam, Alex, and John went cycling in the park.
   • CS: Sam, Alex, and John
   • Predicate: went cycling in the park

Tip: Look for who or what before the verb. 👀

What is a Compound Predicate?

A compound predicate has two or more actions performed by the same subject. 🔄

1. 👦 Arjun wrote an essay and presented it in class.
   • Subject: Arjun
   • CP: wrote an essay and presented it in class
2. 🐦 The birds sang and flew away.
   • Subject: The birds
   • CP: sang and flew away
3. 👩 She washed the dishes, cleaned the room, and watered the plants.
   • Subject: She
   • CP: washed the dishes, cleaned the room, and watered the plants

Tip: Look for what the subject does; if there are two actions, it’s a compound predicate! 🎯
