Write down and label any compound subjects and compound predicates in these sentences. 11. The days and nights of winter are often cold. 12. Jeff Watkins plays and sings at all our meetings. 13. Mary and Bill bought and furnished a new house. 14. Chairs, tables, and rugs were chosen and purchased for the entrance hall. 15. The meetings begin and end with a song. 16. John and Elaine prefer the winter weather.

Answer 1

11- days, night = compound subject

12-  plays, sings = compound predicates

13- Mary and Bill = compound subjects  //bought furnished = compound predicate

14- Chairs, tables rugs = compound subjects  //were chosen and furnished = compound predicate

15- begin and end = compound predicate

16_ John and Elaine = compound subjject

a compound predicate has to tell us two things at least with the same subject
a compound subject  is two or more subjects
