Ever feel like your sentence has *more* than one star? That's likely a compound subject at play! Simply put, a compound subject is when two or more nouns or pronouns share the same verb in a sentence. They're usually joined by conjunctions like 'and,' 'or,' or 'nor.'
Think of it like this: 'Dogs *and* cats are popular pets.' Here, 'dogs' and 'cats' team up to form the subject of the verb 'are.' The conjunction 'and' is the glue holding them together.
Another example: 'Neither the dog *nor* the cat wants to go outside.' See how 'dog' and 'cat' *together* perform the action (or lack thereof) of not wanting to go outside?
Mastering compound subjects makes your writing more interesting and concise. Instead of writing multiple sentences, you can combine ideas elegantly. So, embrace the power of two (or more!) and add some compound subjects to your writing toolkit!
