Here's a breakdown:
Subject: The person, place, or thing performing the action.
Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells us what the subject is doing or being.
Compound Predicate: Two or more verbs in the predicate, connected by conjunctions.
Example:
* Subject: The cat
* Predicate: played and slept all day.
* Compound Predicate: played and slept (two verbs connected by "and")
More Examples:
* The children sang and danced at the party.
* The dog barked and ran towards the door.
* She ate lunch and studied for her test.
* He read the book and took notes.
* They painted the house and moved in.
Key Points:
* Both verbs in a compound predicate refer to the same subject.
* The conjunction connects the verbs in a grammatically correct way.
* Compound predicates make your sentences more interesting and dynamic.
