Overview

In this classroom resource, students will learn the difference between compound subjects and compound predicates. Sometimes a subject may be more than one thing or person. They have more than one noun or pronoun and are called compound subjects. Sometimes one subject may be doing more than one thing, and thus have more than one verb. These are called compound predicates. This resource offers videos, games, and worksheets to help further understand the concept.
