Choose the sentence that has a compound predicate.
A. Sandy washed and ironed her clothes.
B. Sue and I will listen.
C. We went home to eat and to study.
D. Swimming and golfing are Jim's favorite sports.
Is it D?
The predicate usually tells what the subject is doing, or what is happening to the subject.
"Compound predicate" = two verbs for the one subject. Which sentence has one person doing TWO actions?
is it C?
No.
We only did one thing -- went home.
Sandy did two things, didn't she?
its "A"
Yes, you are correct! Sentence D, "Swimming and golfing are Jim's favorite sports," is the sentence that has a compound predicate.
A compound predicate is when there are two or more verbs that share the same subject. In this sentence, "swimming" and "golfing" are the two verbs (or actions) that Jim enjoys, and they are both connected to the subject "Jim" with the linking verb "are."
