Compound Subject

A compound subject is a subject with two or more simple subjects. In other words, when
the subject of a sentence is made up of two or more elements, it's a compound subject.
For example:
 Jack and Jill went up the hill.
(In this compound subject, the first simple subject is "Jack," and the second is
"Jill." Notice that the simple subjects are joined with the conjunction "and.")

Examples of Compound Subjects

A driving permit or a passport is required.
My wife and I cannot attend unfortunately.
Neither the military nor the police has any suitable vehicles.

Compound Verb

A compound verb is much like a compound subject. A compound verb is formed when
two verbs combine together with the same subject.
Ex:

(Both “leaped” and “caught” are verbs describing what the subject “dog” did.) Note:
