A simple subject is the
particular noun or pronoun that tells who or

what a sentence or clause is about.

A compound subject is one which consists of more than one noun. (This
includes pronouns, noun phrases, and noun clauses.) The individual
elements in a compound subject are joined by words like and
and or (called coordinate conjunctions) or pairings like either/or and
neither/nor (called correlative conjunctions).

A complete subject is the simple subject, or the main word or words in a
subject, along with any of the modifiers that might describe the subject.

A simple predicate is a verb or verb phrase. It doesn’t give any more information
about the verb or verb phrase, which is why the predicate is considered “simple.” To
identify a simple predicate in a sentence, ask yourself what the subject does or is, but

remember to focus only on the verb or verb phrase itself.

A compound predicate is simply two or more main verbs
attached to a single subject of the sentence.

The complete predicate includes the verb and all the words
that tell what the subject is or what the subject does.

A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb. It shows a
complete thought.

This sentence is composed of two simple sentences joined together by a
comma and a joining word (coordinating conjunction). We could also describe a
compound sentence as two independent clauses joined by a conjunction. There

are seven coordinating conjunctions: and, for, or, nor, so, yet and but.

A compound-complex sentence is made from two
independent clauses and one or more dependent

clauses.
