Simple sentences (2): a compound subject and a simple verb
- Sometimes you have two subjects connected to the same verb.
- This is called a compound subject.
- A compound subject has more than one head noun (main noun) or pronoun.
- The nouns or pronouns are linked by coordinating conjunctions:
A spider or a green ant (S) must have bitten (V) him.
My husband and I (S) agree (V).
Neither he nor she (S) said (V) anything.
