Subjects and Predicates

Compound subjects can be formed by joining two simple subjects. Consider these examples: 


  Jill and Jane flew a kite.

  Jack and Bob fell down the hill.

  The mouse and the rat ran down the hall.
These are compound subjects because they have more than one noun in them.

Compound predicates can be formed by joining two or more predicates. Here are some examples: 


  Jill fed the mice and cleaned their cages.

  Jack ate the pizza and drank the shake.

  The mouse ate the cheese and took a nap.
