Here's a breakdown:
* Verb: A word that describes an action or state of being.
* Compound Verb: Two or more verbs working together to express a single action.
Examples:
* She sings and dances. (The verbs "sings" and "dances" are connected by the conjunction "and" to form a compound verb.)
* They will eat and sleep.
* I have been reading and writing all day.
Note: Compound verbs can be connected by conjunctions like "and," "or," "but," "nor," "yet," or "so."
